Austria-Hungary General Campaign Medal 1873
Mike Dunn replied to Ralph A's topic in Austro-Hungarian Empire
What a noticeable difference in the cases! Nice stuff Ralph! Mike -
Question for those in the know---how often is the Centennial-Wedding medal-incorrectly placed on a Baden bar? Damn--what a can of worms! LOL Mike
-
Humm--I have not seen that medal on a solid yellow ribbon before--interesting to say the least. Mike

What could it be?
Mike Dunn replied to don's topic in Germany: Third Reich: State, Civil, NSDAP Awards & Decorations
Interesting bar. Are the medals not in the correct order?? You guys lost me on this one. But that is easy to do as I am not a medal bar guy! I would have to think, with the input from those in the know, that this bar, either good or bad, was put together as a one of a kind..??? Most likely home made??? Mike -
Interesting bar--what is the medal under the solid yellow ribbon? Did not realize that there was a solid yellow ribbon other than the Centennial medal. Learn something new every day I guess. Like the Baden bars! Mike

Great thread Stogie! Thanks for explaining what is wrong with the ribbon bars. Since I don't eat, drink and sleep ribbon bars, it really helps to understand what is wrong with them! Keep it up! Mike

This is a field that I kinda fell into one day. I have a few Imperial Reservist pipes and found a lighter. Well it has slowly gown (still small) but I enjoy them anyway! Please post your smoking goodies! Mike First some trench art type lighters...

Chet, that is a beautiful medal bar. Looks like your collection is growing nicely! Great find! Mike

The more I see the Turkish awards the better I like them. Just somthing about them that is interesting. Not a big medal bar fan, but really like them on German medal bars. Thanks for sharing them. Mike

Interesting Rick, so if I understand you correctly, this bar was a mini medal bar with no medals? Were they sewn on as there are no clips or hangers? Mike
-
Rick! I can't belive that it finally showed up. I figured it was shreaded and in a land fill by now! So glad that you got it as I can't think of a better place for it to be! One side thought--only .60 for ninety days in the postal system--such a deal!! Mike

I picked this 2 place ribbon bar up lately and don't remember seeing one like this before. While the medals represented are not uncommon, I thought that I would share this bar with everyone. Ribbon bar is approx 1 3/4 x 1 inch in size. Would like to see other examples of this style of ribbon bar. Thanks, Mike

Soviet Plastic Medal Bars
Mike Dunn replied to a topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
That is interesting Rick! They seem to have used plastic a lot for pinbacks and such. They do this to cut cost or problems in getting the correct material? Mike -
Nice grouping Rick, does it say where he was buried at? Mike

And the medal--
