Let us see your favorite ribbon bars. There are no holds barred here. Any any time period is OK. Here are mine... This first one came from Rick(Stogieman). Despite the huge number of awards, it is not possible to track down this guy's ID This is a mixed WW1-2 bar. His button hole KVK2 ribbon came with the bar and was placed on the needle as shown!

All I have is a two place "one piece" ribbon as intregated into this three ribbon bar! The Hindenburg Cross is actually a separate ribbon!!! The two Austrian medals are printed on one ribbon. Best regards Paul

backs... The zink one is a lot better in person as all of the details are visible. I dont know why they are not picking up on the scanner!?

Better photos of my two lifesaving medals...

I can understand why... Please post the rest of you badges. I am learning a lot here.

Nice weapons, Roy! Were all of the P08's original markings removed? I have also seen pics of the East German Border Guard armed with StG44s well into the 1950s! I have a special interest in weapons that were re-issued to different nations. I remember seeing an Isreali K-98 with both Isreali and German WW2 markings both present. In my opinion, it only adds to the history of the piece. Wars did not end with the close of WW2, and these weapons relfect this fact. I still wish I would have bought that rifle as it was very inexpensive at the time. I do have a Soviet SVT40 that is stamped with the Finnish capture mark of, "SA". Regards Paul
