Hallo Linasi, Have these items even been copied? They are unofficial awards from a Naval veterans organisation that the veterans had to purchase as far as I am aware. But you really would need to post pictures or scans of a better quality to get opinions as the detail is too small. Kevin in Deva. :beer:

Ribbon Bar with two BWM ?
Kev in Deva replied to christerd's topic in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign Medals
Hallo Brian, Another point being that a BWM would not be the first award ribbon officially on a WW1 period medal bar, it would be the Mons Star ribbon or the 1914/18 Star followed by the BWM ribbon and then the UK Victory Medal. Also the stiching / sowing pattern to the rear of the bar seems to be off when you look at the rear of the ribbons. Kevin in Deva. :cheers: -
Hallo Mike & Brian, I have found Romanian graveyards to be a great source of information, with regards military history, thanks to the tradition of putting pictures of the deceased on the headstones. This was my first visit to Bellu Cemetary in Bucharest, and I had no idea it would contain so much of interest, but, there are lots more pictures to come. Kevin in Deva. :beer:

As far as I am aware two awards of the B.W.M. are NOT possible. Kevin in Deva. :cheers: -
