webr55 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) I just got this ribbon bar, maybe for a Bremen native, with the not-too-common miniature for the Prussian Reserve/Landwehr decoration 2nd cl. It is a tab back, and the ribbon with the miniature was upside down when I got it, but I fixed this. I think the bar is original.

webr55 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) And a closeup of the miniature. It is quite detailed, for its size: Edited November 11, 2017 by webr55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Beautiful miniature Chris . First time I see such mini. RegardsChristophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Given how MANY awards used the plain blue ribbon, it should have been fairly obvious how useful such minis would have been. I think I have only seen 3 or 4.Here's one from my friend Bernd:and my one and only XV Cross:closeup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Dittos for me. With all the ribbon bars I've handled over the years, the medal/cross minis I've seen under a dozen times. Very hard to find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Another one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Very nice, and these are scarce. I have a Baden example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Just to be accurate, only webr55 showed an LD2 mini. Everything else was for active army, XII years! I have to echo what Rick said sixteen years ago: It's surprising these little helpers weren't used much more often! On 19/10/2021 at 17:57, VtwinVince said: I have a Baden example. I think we have never seen that. Would you mind adding it to this thread? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 There's another one, with an "XII" medal and a Lippe connection, offered on German ebay right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
