    1. €20 to €30, that's the max I would pay as a ribbon bar collector
    2. Iv the same medal but with its original paper packets, il need to dig them out but they were made in Paris
    3. Can I ask the poster of the pictures did they own the copyright to the pictures or did they take them from pictures off of the web because in alot of cases with NFTs the pictures were simply stolen and then sold for a profit
    4. I know it was a post from 3 years ago but why an earth did you think NFTs would replace people collecting actual militaria, this seems like a cash grab and considering NFTs have now fallen off a cliff I wonder did anyone actually buy any of these?
    5. If you have the name I think it should be in the London gazette and you can search it
    6. The qsa bar could be a bar that was made before the victory medal was issued as the victory was established I believe a few months after the war medal so it could have been made up before the owner physically got the war medal and victory medal (and the 15 star was established before the war medal to) I also believe there was some debate on the final ribbon for the victory medal (IV a few ribbon bars that have the never used version of the victory ribbon and a bar that has both the official and unofficial ribbon on it ie he was double dipping)
    7. No worries at all, if you send me a PM with an email address il email you them
    8. Heres a link to his records Royal Navy guy from Dublin ,if you register on the site you can get the records for free https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D7136160 If you can't register let me know and il download the records for you and email them to you
    9. Ribbon available on ebay to already https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304925014771?hash=item46fef27af3%3Ag%3AwtkAAOSwxmpkVOIG&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4HmwUdSEHM5GIPcQEsqLXBWVjVEQGf3Ic3p7TmGCqfaLh4e%2BwpkA%2B6Lq2k275eRhof7dDRwxm%2BE9iPgnujj%2BeZ3gci3sCwlxdslPbTrL706juGwW3Qg1BYE3%2BfNx%2FdOP%2BjKtDq8yVmtkcX0TzFYRrRGXjb9ZiVlOoXmipBUQaM3rwAnRAaFBxp37Wk2qP4yGiff7R%2BKffZmzLMwIr2%2Fv7vkU7VUCzAIH57QrpSPiK9uX5pHloXL0Kkg8Ys04mBO4NN3%2Bl%2BbYIyTiZ7RgClXsXEZspFQixwulVXKJb5u169oi|tkp%3ABk9SR7jh_tj9YQ&LH_Auction=1
    10. Great set!here's a question what did the King(then prince) do in ww 1 to get a MID?
    11. Here's his medal index card ,looks like he was in Gallipoli and if iv reading this right a mentioned in despatches to
    12. Think this is some of the majors records, youl need to register with the national archives and there will probably be a charge.for the records but you might get some good info https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C13294549 https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C13294225 https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C13294030 https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C13293942 https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C13294383 https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C13294299
    13. As a ribbon bar collector I'd agree it's probably an Indian general service medal ribbon, so you a pic of the back?
    14. Hi Stu Welcome to the forum and here's a long thread from this very forum all about them! Enjoy! https://gmic.co.uk/topic/26515-the-legion-of-frontiersmen/
