RAO on Rings and Bow

[Guest Brian von Etzel]

Unaltered as handed down from grandfather. No one added anything here that wasn't placed in a box as is by its recipient. It's photographed on a sash his men gave him on his 70th birthday.

I've theorized the bow might have come from his earlier medal/ribbon bar, the wider pre war style as it appears in a photo he is wearing a bow. The award itself perhaps from an earlier bar?

From his hands as found, it works together like this for me.

Drop dead gorgeous piece Brian. I like it and the uniqueness of the display. There's just not enough family history preserved out there! Nice!
