    Is it common to have the thread attached to stop the medals from swinging around too much?

    Check out this group guys!

    Very nice and authentic one (IMHO of course :)) issued for Nomonhan Incident.

    This time cavalier used the wire as attachement device for his medals!

    I've seen many of these Nomonhan Border Incident bars colored like that - some medals too - were there actually TWO types of ribbons, or are these all just interesting fade/change patterns? The other bars there look pretty normal!

    You see the white stripes looks "too pure white" for fading scenario...

    Also I saw some pretty faded ribbons for this medal and they still have these two stripes in yellow ...

    Maybe sometimes "they" (whoever they might be ... a different manufacturer?) just forgot to apply the last layer of light yellow paint ...

    Yes, always with these white stripes! Very interesting. A legitimate variant? Hmmmm......
