FireMedals Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 David S.Just a guess, but it looks like the full size medals could be slipped under the folds of the ribbon on the front, stitched in place, and give you a nice court mounted group. Is there room under the fold to do that?FireMedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David S Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yes there is room. That was my thought. The medals would have to be light because the backing material is thin and the pin should be stronger.Like a small version of what Admiral Prakash is wearing.

Ed_Haynes Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 These are not ribbon bars, they are the medal bars made up when medals are not there of, oftem, old medal bars where the medals have been stripped for remounting that are re-stitched and sold to western collectors by some military tailors at least in Delhi.If you want, I can post examples and choke you with them.
