    Gents, would the swords on this stick pin be recognizable to a specific award?

    Or a generic German WWI silver variety?

    Thanks for looking and for any and all assistance. --dj--Joe

    Hi Joe,

    That's an odd pin, the swords makes no logic presented like this. That is unless there's an arrangement on the reverse, making it possible to attach multiple ribbons. I've posted two images to illustrate this.

    I've also posted a couple of different 9mm devices for comparison. I personally don't like the hollow stamped version. As you can see, #III and IV have a double row of oakleaves, the hollow type a single row, very poorly defined.

    Greetings Peter,

    Thank you for the reply. My stick pin reverse is the same as your #V.

    I can see no way to sturdily affix a ribbon and have it remain in place. No sign of glue or wear to the reverse.

    It was an interesting piece, so I thought why not! Something to research. :anmatcat:

    Peter, you are certainly correct that a ribbon could have been there at one time. I looked through my items and noted a Sangerbund stickpin with a ribbon attached to the pin, nothing to stop it from tilting from side to side though.

    I do not recall ever having seen a set up quite like this.
