1. A Hohenzollern Commemorative Medal for Combatants of 1848-1849, constructed of bronze, on loop for suspension with its period original ribbon, unmarked, measuring 29.88 mm in diameter, in better than very fine condition.

2. A War Commemorative Medal of 1870-1871 for Combatants, constructed of bronze, on loop for suspension with its period original ribbon,unmarked, measuring 29.04 mm in diameter, in better than very fine condition.

Both suspended from an 85 mm-long trapezoidal bar with a magnetic metal core, white wool liner, and horizontal pinback, unmarked, demonstrating moderate soiling throughout the ribbons, an interesting bar to a veteran of two wars pivotal to the rise of the German Empire in the second half of the 19th century, in very fine condition.
