Really wierd ribbon bar

[David S]

I've had this bar for a number of years and it defys explanation. Opioions are that it is a bogus, or parts bar. If you look close it looks period.

Comments and opinions always appreciated.

Ignoring completely what the ribbons are, I think it's safe to say that the devices were added after the fact. I can't recall seeing any legit bars (although I'm sure there probably are some - especially if a decoration changed, and the change could be reflected by just slapping on a new device) where the prongs were poked through the backing like this.

I am with Chris - devices are wrong. Not only how they are attached but also where. I would also say parts bar as the ribbon order is wrong. I will admit that I do not know what they all are.

Hi David, I believe you have an utterly complete fantasy bar, made long ago. BUT! The devices are probably worth what you paid for it...... especially the Saxon Weltkrieg bar (for woman) which makes exactly TWO real ones I've seen!

I agree, a nightmare from before we were born, all ancient parts.

It cost me all of $10, so no big deal.

This is my second large Imperial ribbon bar, I like it because of the Siam and China ribbons.

Thanks for the comments.

Siam and China - never get enough of those!

[Stogieman]

Hi David, it is a big deal though. The crowns are impossible to find and the Saxon spange gives that word a whole new meaning! I would have cheerfully dropped a C-Note just to get that spange!

Thats a wonderful Spange, Chet
