Original era manufacture. This beautiful WWI 5 place medal & matching ribbon bar set were purchased in Germany last Fall, during our visit to Speyer.The medal bar consists of an EK2, Naval Korps Flanders Cross w' Ypern Clasp, enameled Veterans Cross Champagne 1914-1918, German Honor Medal of the World War, with Honor Legion badge on its ribbon, and an enameled Veterans Cross Somme 1914-1918.Each of the enameled crosses bears the same makers name on the lower arm reverse, Fleck & Sohn Hamburg, and the Champagne cross has a small pair of silver crossed swords above it on its ribbon, and on the Somme cross, a set of small gold swords. No enamel damage to be seen on either cross, just a very small amount of wear to the silvering on the edges, really minor.The accompanying ribbon bar reflects the same set of medals as it's big brother, and, where appropriate, matching medal devices are set upon the ribbons.  The overall condition of the set is near new, showing just a very minor hint of age, the gilding is near perfect, and as I said before no enamel damage on the crosses. A truly beautiful medal bar.
