Humberto,

Sorry, but most of my collection is packed away ready for a move. I did the scan some time ago. When my collection sees the light of day again (probably in January), I'll get the measurements for you.

Rick (Research) has a similar example and can probably give you some dimensions.

Thank you very much David! I will ask Rick.

They are all different sizes-- basically the same as anything that fit on the large 25mm wide ribbon bar ribbons.

[attachmentid=63166]

Hauptmann Beeckmann wearing this style in 1929:

[attachmentid=63167]

Also common in this style wear was a separate crown over large crossed swords. It was each wearer's preference-- no regulations governed measurements on these.

My example above is 20mm high and 28mm wide--and that is rather SMALL for the ones usually worn on a buttonhole ribbon.

Thank you very much for your help Rick!
