Robin Lumsden Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) Nice medals, but they're in the wrong order. Edited August 4, 2005 by Robin Lumsden
The Capstone Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Quite a group. Once they're arranged properly, you are set!Capstone
Guest Darrell Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) can you re-arrainge them?←Well by judging by how the bar is put together, I dont think this is going to be easy if possible. You'd almost have to pull the backing plate off to rearrange the ribbons, and they'd probably come undone. The medals look to be in little rings attached to this backing plate. It would require the separation of the medal ribbon rings ... P.S. On a side note ... anyone getting medals sent up from the US to Canada ... use this method GLOBAL PRIORITY PLUS (like Don did). Things usually show up within +/- 6-7 days .. awesome service Edited August 4, 2005 by Darrell
Guest Rick Research Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 I thought from the front this would be the normal individual tab back on metal back plate style.I have NEVER seen anything that looks like that back. The mounting order should be (as the awards now are) 1, 4, 3, 2. Is the metal backing including tabs on front entirely hand made, or stamped out manufactured?
Nick Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 RickI have to agree that the back looks like a very strange, it looks almost home made as opposed to mass produced ?
don Posted August 5, 2005 Author Posted August 5, 2005 The back plate looks like it is stamped.If it was taken apart small rings would have to be cut.I think it made as shown.It looks well made and all medals are marked.I can return if I wish but plan on keeping it don
don Posted August 5, 2005 Author Posted August 5, 2005 Looks like the medals were put on the rings first than fastend to bar don
J Temple-West Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Indeed, a very strange bar. Thinking it was a standard dual purpose bar, big surprise on seeing the reverse.
don Posted August 5, 2005 Author Posted August 5, 2005 I took a couple more pictures of the back. Not to clear due to sun don
