Some soldiers never get a break..... "He Who Shall Henceforth Be Named Wise and Beneficial Master of All Creation" has claimed this bar for his own... it took him less than 2 hours to ID this fellow. Couple of neat things on this bar: Use of "Bavarian Style swords" with separately applied crown, crown was carefully filed open, nice early style pre-WW1 swords next, Otto Schickle matched Long Service Eagles......... Now, who can guess who this poor schlub is and why he's so offended?
Good Luck!

I'm guessing that this is the bar of a Bavarian oberstleutnant who was awarded the grade of Albrechtorden more appropriate to a lower ranking officer. Not to mention that his home state's 1905/1911 Luitpold (if that's what the ribbon second to the right indeed is - as I can't imagine how one could have gotten to the exhalted MVO3XmKr or MVK1XmKr worthy ranks only having been in from between 1912-1918), was put on the bar in a lower precedence than it had to be.
Because it's really a Crown order at the end-and therein lies the tail?
