      I found a few pictures and compared them to the strip of ribbon I have, and it is an exact match. Thank you!

      Thanks, Peter! I never thought I'd have anything from the Vatican in my collection. This is pretty cool!

      Hi, all! I got these two ribbons in a large lot of US and European ribbon stripes. I was able to ID all but these. Does anyone know what awards and countries these ribbons represent? Thanks!

      Here are mine. Custom groups mixed with slide-on groups.

      Hi, all. I've had this ribbon bar for quite some time, but I'm not sure where it comes from. The ribbons are, from left to right: Knight of the Order of Orange Nassau (Netherlands), Legion of Merit (U.S.), and Commander of the Military Order of Italy. While the top ribbon is Dutch, I'm not 100% sure if this bar is Dutch, or from another country. Is there a way to tell based on the way the ribbons are mounted or anything? Thanks!

      Matched pair to a USMCR Officer. I've also included a picture of the full-size medals.

      I forgot to post this, but I managed to get the third and final ribbon bar that belonged to the same officer. This bar also has the ribbon for the Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor, so now I have 2 with the Grand Officer ribbon and 1 with the Grand Cross. I'm very happy I could keep them all together. I've also included a picture of my small French display.

      Just received a second ribbon bar to the same officer. This one, however, has the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor!

      Hi, guys. I just got this beautiful French ribbon bar which consists of the Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor, the Croix de Guerre 1939-45 w/ 6 palms, the Croix de Guerre TOE w/ 3 palms, and the Croix de la Valeur Militaire w/ 2 palms. This officer received a total of 11 bronze palms between WWII and Indochina! I may be wrong, but I'm guessing this belonged to a General or Admiral based on the award of the Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor. Does anyone think the owner of this ribbon bar could be identified based on these awards? I know it's probably a really long shot, but I'd love to find out who wore these. Thanks for looking!

      I think you might be right. I had a feeling I m ight have been wrong about the shoulder titles, but the letters are hard to make out. Upon looking at them again, it does look like HQCD. Thank you so much! I don't think I ever would have figured that out. I really appreciate your help! Edit: doing a quick Google search, I found this book, which also features a picture of Lord Hamilton: The Specials, How They Served London. Thank you again!

      Nice set of ribbon bars, mini medals, and a Vietnam Veterans of America challenge coin that belonged to a Navy officer who was with the Fleet Marine Force in Vietnam. No name, unfortunately.

      For reference: my great-grandfather Josef Blum circa 1903-05. He was an Artilleryman in the K u.K. Armee.

      Hi, guys. Pictured is Lord Claud Hamilton, a distant cousin of mine. In doing research, I found the attached picture of him. Try as I might, I cannot identify the uniform he is wearing, nor can I identify the shoulder titles on his epaulets. Can anyone help with the identification? Thank you!

      Thank you, Paul. Sadly, he passed away in 2006. He had been a CW2 with Army CID, and had served just about everywhere: Hawaii, South Korea (1974-75), Vietnam (1967-68), and Germany.

      Unfortunately, I think his apron and any other Masonic items may be lost to history. It seems these two coins were all that was left. I may try and find out if is old lodge is still around and see if they may have any information.

      My uncle John's mini-medal bar representing his 20 years of service.
