lew Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone, I'm being offered this ribbon bar recently and I thought it is so special that it uses Rettungsmedaille ribbon for the first 3 places, and having a lot of devices on it, the last 3 positions are actually prussian Lifesaving medal, Turkish Lifesaving awards for the 1st and 2nd actions. Can anybody tell me if the combination could be possible and perhaps a wartime original? all comments are welcome, thanks.

M Hunter Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 That looks really odd. I have to agree with Paul. I have never seen the Hohenzollern Order awarded on the Lifesaving ribbon. The other 3 yes, but not the HHO. The "hardware" and ribbons look good. I personally cannot speak for all the devices as these are not my strong point. Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
