Makes sense. I knew that the ribbon bar was post-1915, but didn't know the likelihood of EK vs. MEZ vs. MEZ + EK on the buttonhole. Frankly, I'm rather curious as to whether any related medal bars might surface out of the same collection.
There's a very real chance that I may have met him at some point along the line, knowing that we've both frequented some of the same shows. In all honesty, I can't put a face to the name though.
Actually, Don passed away in 2006 from what I understand. I bought this bar from Ed Anderson, who mentioned that he had some 20 or so more colonial medal bars that were going to be coming his way in the near future. I'll PM you his email address, since I don't know if he'd want it published on a forum. --Chris
I've seen a similar ribbon, being used on a regimental commemorative (don't remember the regiment though). Instead of the blue and yellow outer stripes, it had very narrow white stripes with a black stripes about twice as wide on the outside.
In the context of this bar, does the Verdienstmedaille der Seeverkehrswirtschaft make any sense? I'm really out of my element here, but I presume some sort of naval border patrol, if it's indeed legit. Thanks, --Chris
As someone who likely has the ID of a lapel bow and possibly a few ribbon bars riding on the material in these books, I am most certainly interested. However, I'd like to see even a vague ballpark figure before making a commitment. (I want to be sure that I'll actually be able to meet the commitment.)
