Hello, I was wondering how to tell the difference between the ribbon for an Iron Cross, 2nd Class and the Militär-Ehrenzeichen medals? They look very similar to me. Were the Militär-Ehrenzeichen medals (1st & 2nd Class) the most common medals for bravery during the Colonial Campaigns (China & Southwest Africa)? Thank you for any assistance! Brian

For some reason, I'm not able to access the link that you provided. I get an error message. What I am looking for is someone to build a reproduction bar for me in the pre-1915 "old" style.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me find someone to build a reproduction ribbon bar for the 1870-1915 period. I am portraying a Saxon infantry officer of Grenadier Regiment 101. I was hoping to get a reproduction bar made with 1-2 minor Saxon or Imperial awards and a china campaign ribbon. Something that would look appropriate for the time period. I found this website that appears to have the ribbon to reproduce the china ribbon. http://www.huesken.c...1901-46401.html It would be cool if the reproductions could be complete medals, but I haven't found a reproduction medal for the china campaign so I don't know if that's possible or not? I appreciate any assistance or guidance that you can give! Thank you!
