Interesting 2 place WW1 medal bar with bars " MARASESTI, TURTUCAIA, BUCURESTI, DOBROGEA ".

Here is an interesting cross. It has 5 bars on it. All 5 bars are in silver with large letters. They are as follows : DUNAREA, DOBROGEA, CARPATI, 1918, 1918.

Why are the bars in silver ? And why does it have the bars 1918 on it twice ?

Hallo

Thats a very nice 2 piece bar on a french style pin with chain, is this bar in your collection or is it on Ebay??

Yes. This group is in my collection. You don't see this type of WW1 mounting all too often. I usually see more of this style of mounting in period photos then in actuality. With the chain hanger, the group was suspended like a jetton off the pocket button.

Here is a cross with many clasps, including the rare SIBERIA. This cross was probably made for display purposes and can be seen in the War Museum in Brussels.

A little more information of this cross and some details , it has the inventory Nr 1105715 and was a gift of the Roumanian gouvernement on 28/03/1924 to the Royal Army Museum in Brussels.

See olso the collection Database of the museum

and i think it can be a reference for the claps (bars) that exist for this cross
