Stogieman Posted January 27, 2006 Author Posted January 27, 2006 And here's the aftermath of his efforts...
Stogieman Posted January 27, 2006 Author Posted January 27, 2006 Of course he also has 3 lots of loose ribbon for sale as well. I'd love to think he's hanging up his hat, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Bob Hunter Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 If we all pitched in a bought them then no one else could use them...
landsknechte Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 If we all pitched in a bought them then no one else could use them... Therein lies the rub... Do you actually want to give this *@^*$@ your money?Been there, done that. I got in early on the wave of Danzig Cross ribbon bars he started pumping out, before it became quite so obvious that they were bogus.
landsknechte Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 This one wouldn't be complete without the description..."This German Ribbon Board features 9 ribbons. The first one is black with white stripes. We think this is an iron cross ribbon. The next is blue with yellow stripes, it might be a waterloo ribbon. The next is white with blue and black stripes, we think it means order of military merit with swords. The next one is white and yellow, we think it?s a langensalzer ribbon. There is a white, black, and red one, we think it means Honor Cross Combatant. The next one is all blue. We think it means long and devoted service officer. We think the white red and green one means Mamaland Ribbon. The next one is white red and black, we?re not sure what that one means. The last one is red with green stripes. We think that one is a luitpold ribbon. The ribbon board also features 8 pins. There are 3 crossed swords pins and one of them has a helmet over it. There is another with three leaves and the number 25 in the center. There is one with four arrows pointing inward with a crown on top. There is another with two swords holding up a board. And the last one has a bird on it."Woo-hoo, hold up your boards on your swords, we're invading the Mamaland!

Bob Hunter Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Only medal #2? #3 looks like it wouldn't stand up to close scrutiny.
Stogieman Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 What? Not cheesy enough? How about from the back?
landsknechte Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 What? Not cheesy enough? How about from the back?"Wearer's copy", right?
HeikoGrusdat Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 this one is from a german collector and he says several times in the auction description that ALL parts of the auction are fakes - orders, ribbons, and the whole thing together - he says ist, that`s the difference to Baff for example...
David Gregory Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 And we'll expand the thread! Check out Medal #2. eweeeeweeeeeeLooks like G?de's finest!
Stogieman Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Well, my apologies to the seller as I did not read his description, I just looked at the photos very quickly....... Now this seller I think is a different story:
Guest Rick Research Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Hahhaaahhhha heeeeehheeeeeheeeeee ackgackugh That is just excruciatingly PATHETIC. And the life story in awards there is....
Stogieman Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 It's so fullfilling.......... being able to make people smile! ;>)
landsknechte Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 That is just excruciatingly PATHETIC. And the life story in awards there is.... I still am rather fond of the description posted by the seller of the last ribbon bar that I put up. Even if you're not a ribbon bar whiz, wouldn't it ring a few alarm bells in your own mind if your interpretation was telling you that you had a veteran of Waterloo and the invasion of the "Mamaland"?!? 120+ years in uniform? Methinks one long service ribbon wouldn't come nearly close enough...
Stogieman Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 I'm not sure you can call this one a fake. The seller certainly does not realize it, but it most assuredly falls into Rick Research's seldom used "Category Four"....... The Silly

Not sure where, but I'm positive it's been on eBay in the past.
Stogieman Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 and another. Does not show the reverses at all......... just mint WW2 bars in odd combinations.
