I'd be interested at your guess as to why the ribbon bar was removed in the first place! I hope you can source the same type of thread (I assume there are thread remnants on the ribbon bar) and that when you went to sell it you would tell the prospective new owner the history.

joe campbell Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 i agree with mike.not sure why they are apart, but to my thinking, this is preservation rather thanalteration.joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Probably taken off for laundering-- which is always the problem with sew ons. When they are NOT removed for cleaning, they end up all bent and wiggly. I have a number of Imperial and Third Reich "caterpillar" ribbon bars!

Paul R Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The purist that I am, I would not have a problem with the reapplication of this bar either! Please post a photo of this tunic! I would love to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Broadhurst Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 I never had the pleasure to meet this brave man but Gordon has i think , as he was president of the knights cross holder,s association and i think Gordon got to know him quite well .
