My new non-combattant medal bar

[Ralph A]

Some ribbons and a loose piece:

[Ralph A]

An enigma!

[Bob Hunter]

Always a pleasure to see parts of your collection!

[Stogieman]

Hi Ralph! LOVE the Lapel Bows.... interesting variations/styles there!

[Paul R]

Very nice Ralph! I am definately envious!

Do those bars you have in #24 come from the same veteran?

If we're all going to be whippin' 'em out, I can't very well leave this one neglected in the bug box:

[Paul R]

Very nice! What is the last ribbon on that bar?

Very nice! What is the last ribbon on that bar?

Paul

It's the non combatant version of the Bulgarian WWI commemorative.

[Paul R]

landsknechte,

Thank you! That poor bar should not be neglected like that! I know someone who would give it a nice loving home!

Here is the one and only ribbon bar I have with an NC EK Ribbon. (Same one that I posted in the TR section).

[Bob Hunter]

Nice bars, Daniel. Is the trap bar missing a wrap for the NC EKII?

[Paul R]

Very unique Trap bar!!!

WOW! I love that Order of Heinrich the Lion from Braunschweig!!!

A single:

[Bob Hunter]

Jens, that is a sparkling example!

[Stogieman]

Hi Jens, I agree with Bob. There's just something about solo NC EK2's that is really appealing. I've even had it as a frack, if you can imagine a "solo" frack!

[Flak88]

Here is another single. I love the button connection on the rear:

[Stogieman]

Nice one with the ribbon sewn together and the button! Very nice.

This is a good place to add the perrennial statement: loose EK2's with NC ribbon should command no premium. The ribbon is still available by the roll in Germany!! Mint and period no less. But a mounted one in any configuration.... now that's something special and something to be proud of!!

[Flak88]

My thoughts exactly! It was the button that decided it for me. Still did not pay a premium.

[Bob Hunter]

Marc, how was that to be worn, through the lapel button hole?
