GODISHIGH Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Could either of these ribbon bars be identified? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeikoGrusdat Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 looks like some fantasy pieces from Oz or Hogwarts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If I had to guess at an ID I would say Ohio fraud parts bars. The reverse will tell for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul C Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Be very careful at the SOS. When it comes to ribbon bars there are more fakes then good. If you consider buying one from a dealer ask him if it is all real and if he says yes, ask how he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valter Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 They can be identified as c**p. Westwall miniatures (these little pieces on brown ribbons) were never used on real ribbon bars (but on lapel bows for civil dress. And silver NSDAP long service without bronze one? They should be worn together. And how can some professional NSDAP official at the same time be a professional soldier in Wehrmacht? NSDAP long service awards were not awarded just for party membership, but only for professional service in party formations, and not even all of them. Otherwise they would be much more common, according to number of nazi party members. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Does that mean, someone who got the NSDAP LS Decoration had a full time job in a party organization like SA or NSKK, NSFK etc....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Careers in the NSDAP were seperate from those in the Armed Forces, so a Standartenführer in the SA could in 1939 be drafted as an Unterfeldwebel in the Army. Note this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I understand! Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valter Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Odulf, you are right. These things were possible, but very rare. The grenadier on your pic has party long service awards (both bronze and silver, as it should be with anyone who got silver grade), but not army long service award. With such strange combinations, everyone should be very cautious. I still believe these bars are fake, too many things wrong. To Nicolas, I searched a bit on the web but couldn't find exact criteria for NSDAP LS decorations. As far as I understand, yes, some kind of full-time involvement in party business was necessary, not mere long-term membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I agree with previous commends, the bar looks dodgey, and I would not buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
