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)

As a ribbon bar collector I'd agree it's probably an Indian general service medal ribbon, so you a pic of the back?

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/

Could be just the 1911 coronation medal too as they both have the same ribbon and medal is similar too

On that groups ribbon bar there is a ww1 victory medal, how is he entitled to that if he was fighting on the side of the Germans and won a EK2nd class?

VERY nice ribbon bars, there both very unusual, I wonder if every ribbon had a glass single ribbon of it's own, iv only seen the 3 posted here and the other one I have that il hopefully find over the weekend

I'd love to know myself what it means, it would be great if it was a surname, il have a look over the weekend to see if I can find that other glass single ribbon bar

Sorry should have added the back!! doesn't look like it was made by the same company
