Am "old warrior" Bavarian Medal Group with medals for the 1866 Austro-Prussian & 1870/71 Franco-Prussian Wars


Recommended Posts

This is a very simple and ordinary medal bar to an "old warrior" who fought for the State of Bavaria in both the 1866 War and 1870/71 War. 

What makes this bar interesting is that it is in the original form that was used before the use of the needle and catch attachment style was adopted. This one was attached to the breast pocket using a sprung clip at either end of the bar. One still exists (arrowed)
