    1. Hi guys,

      Just thought you might lke to know that I managed to win the first medalbar shown! :jumping: Hopefully it will be in my hands in a few days, and I can examine it more closely.

      Now, I realise i've already asked for this twice :blush: , but knowing no collectors personally i've come to depend a lot on you guys, and the fact that you have far more experience than me gives me confidence. I'm also interested in this small medalbar from Reuss, but once again I've problems about the back. Apart from having what looks like the remainder of a price tag, the ribbons are strangely folded in a rectangle shape rather than in a semicircle. The metal backing plate has two holes in it where I think there should be hooks, and finally in the hole behind the iron cross there is a red ribbon, not a black/white ribbon.

      Thank you for your opinions once again!

    2. Hi Dond,

      No, I haven't blacklighted it as the bar is not currently in my possession. The backing material indeed seems to have used two different coloured threads, white on the left and a grey thread (which seems to be original as it blends in more with the backing) on the right. On the other hand, the second bar shown has red stitching which blends in with the backing. What is your opinion of the second bar?

      Thanks,

      Matthew

    3. Hi all,

      I've come across a medal bar which strikes me as rather strange. It consists of only a China Colonial Combatant's Medal (no clasps) and the Hindenburg Combatant's cross. Would such a combination be possible? If the man fought in China and in the First World War, how can it be he has no long service award or any bravery or merit medal from World War 1?

      Thanks,

      Matthew
