Chris Boonzaier Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 According to the original award doc, the pinback badge in the left breast it the correct one.AND/OR a ribbon in the buttonhole.That would make the Spangenstucken the non official ones.

Mike K Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hmmm, could this be read/translated such that only the button-hole ribbon (as opposed to the full size award) can be worn in combination with the pinback, rather than implying that the ribboned "IInd" Class was not a legitimate award in it's own right?

Robin Lumsden Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 A bit like the Turkish War Medal (Gallipoli Star)...............pinback, but with a ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 What makes this one overly sexy is that the guy on the doc was actually in Brandis Unit in WW1 as a senior NCO and awarded the EK1.Enjoy this rare treat :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry nice. And I am wondering if the number inked on there referred to a running TOTAL as these were processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 I would guess it does, I wonder if there is a roll out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
