Imperial German WWI Three Medal Bar w/ Iron Cross 2nd Class

This is an original Imperial German WWI three-medal bar, featuring a classic grouping of First World War decorations that reflect confirmed combat and service by an Imperial German soldier. Medal bars of this type were mounted together for wear on uniform or framed display, and they represent some of the most recognized awards from the Great War era.

This medal bar consists of the following original awards:

• 1914 Iron Cross, 2nd Class – Germany’s iconic combat award, instituted in 1914 and presented for acts of bravery in the field.

• Bavarian Bravery Medal with Swords – A kingdom-level award from Bavaria denoting bravery in combat, with crossed swords indicating frontline service.

• Hindenburg Cross for Combatants (marked “G11”) – The WWI Honor Cross instituted in 1934, with crossed swords denoting active combatant status, distinguishing this combat version from non-combatant awards.

Each medal retains its appropriate period ribbon and is mounted together on a common bar consistent with veteran presentation or display. Together they reflect service in the Imperial Army and recognition by both state and national award systems. This grouping represents an authentic and historically meaningful example of World War I German military decorations, well suited for collectors of Imperial German and WWI-era militaria.
