Hello Guys Thanks and sorry for going nuts sometimes!!! But I replaced everything as it was and Be sure when i took swords off I made sure i was able to put them back without harming anything !!!! They are back on and will stay on and will try not to get soooooo crazy !!!! I was told sword were no good then told they were take them off put them on !!!!I was going nuts So I went with my gut !and believe swords are original to this bar and I did not cut anything off they come off with out destroying piece ! they have those clips sewn in to mount medals so everything is as i recieved it ! like you said who knows so i will try not to over react !!! Sorry for driving you guys crazy !!!!! I owe you guys a drink !!! THanks to all !!!

Hello I only did what i thought was right! it can be returned to way I recieved it ! with the swords I carefully removed them as for the the clips under ribbon that were moved I only moved them up to were they were ! as I own this bar and paid good money for it I only want it to be correct !!!!I been emailed by one collector/dealer that states swords could have been put on by the medal mounter because anhalt swords are long and hard to mount and that I should replace the bar back to the way it was!!! So Sorry for the lost sleep and i will carefully undo what I thaought was right !!!and put item back to way i recieved it and restore swords to bar I have a tendancy to go over board in pursuit of the truth!!! and just wanted ti know all about this bar ! also been told that only sword awards were keep by recipient if they recieved an other higher grade! so this bar should not have two peace time awards of anhalt bear !!! SO PLEASE EXCUSE ME BUT I WILL TRY NOT TO GET SO CRAZY OVER THINGS IN FUTURE AND NOT MESS WITH THEM!!!!
