Handsome bar that looks well made. Where do you find this kind of item?
-
The Flying Dutchman reminded me that I have an invisible navy dagger I wish to share with all of you...
-
Magnificent blades, Dutch! Just superb!
-
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, so that's where they went! Very nice, Mike. What is the backing material in your Riker mounts?
-
Rick! What's not to about bars like that? The last two Saxons are killers!
-
So far I'm voting for Chet's 2X as most unique. Think this is my last 3X bar, nice but not unique.
-
That was followed shortly by this one...
-
One of my first medal bars. Traded some books for it.
-
The compact Wurtemburg bar is interesting and the flaming independence of the Saxons is obvious from their bars!
-
and the flip side.
-
The only RZM piece I have is an early NSKK with nickel silver fittings and a very unique scabbard made by Eichhorn.
-
and here is probable non combatant frackbar. The metal is gold on the RAO & KO and the KO is maker marked.
-
Santa Claus just leaves presents...like for free...the dude is not a capitalist. Now is that the image you wish to project? If it is then I will do a better job of exploiting it!

and a stray Oldenburger...
-
the other one.
-
Nice looking bars, Tom! Next are a couple of ordinary but very nice Wurtemburgers.
-
Unusual to find a survivor's cross mounted. This home front german endured some sacrifices...
-
A colorful Hessian group.
-
Jason, neat stuff. I really enjoy the variety of methods used to display campaign clasps on a medal bar. This next 2X is the rarest one in my collection.
-
Another with three bravery awards from three different states.
-
I think this one is pretty crisp!
-
Not everybody got something. Sometimes all one had to show for a career might have looked like this...
-
I'm sure you guys have some nifty 2X and 3X bars so let's post some and have a peek... Here is my first offering, 3 bravery decorations from different states to one man.

Nothing quite so political as that. There is a bureaucracy already in place that sees to the design and procurement of such things. This is some civil servants notion of what is historically appropriate. I am quite certain the predominance of khaki in the ribbon colors represents sand, etc, etc.

Mr. Chairman: With respect to the comparison of the MOH to the VC perhaps a comparison of awards made as a percentage or ratio of forces involved may put things in a more appropriate perspective rather than just raw award numbers.
