      Joking aside my opinion - definitely not original, when you take a look at photos from that period (1943 onward) ribbons on medals are with stripes, at least I've never seen anything different...

      I'm quoting you because you've mentioned different variations of ribbons in another thread, so I wish we could discuss it it a proper thread.

      Thank you, these are not so interesting but there's more to come.
      I've acquired the Bravery Medal from the grandson of the recipient, it shows traces of wear so I don't think the ribbon was changed recently. By the way that medal has a few different variants of the ribbon.

      I really didn't know about different variations of the ribbon for this medal. We can discuss it in a different topic.

    3. Mystery solved! Talked to my grandpa and he said that they wore them on two buttons barrel cuff sleeves, so the regular, every day shirts. He told me that there were no specific regulations and that they didn't have to wear them every day. He wore them whenever he wanted. He said that there was a problem with cufflinks when they were at work because they would often bump into a table and get stuck on its edge, so most of the guys didn't wear them regularly. He told me a story of one officer who had ripped his shirt sleeve because of cufflinks. :D
