webr55 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hello all, a belated Happy New Year! This time I have a question, regarding swords on ribbon bars, and specifically the type below, which is usually considered a late WW2 type. I have always wondered when they started to appear exactly. Does anyone have examples of this type of swords on ribbon bars which are clearly from before 1942? Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 That looks like the style of sword hilt seen on the Hessian Order of Philip. Whether this style made it onto ribbon bars, I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.F. Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Can we see the rest of the ribbon bar? Can you date it to the time period you describe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
