Peter J Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 At first glance this beat-up 2-piece ribbon bar features two HC's. Anyone care to elaborate?cheersPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hallo Peter J, Surely its not possible to have two 1934+ Hindenberg Crosses awarded. The only other medal which uses the same ribbon would have been the 1870-71 Combatant Medal.And that did not have swords, I think its home made Kevin in Deva.

Peter J Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hi Kevin,The 1870-71 scenario crossed my mind, but I guess your assumption is more plausible.cheersPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Hallo Peter as far as I can tell, there is no reason to have a double Hindenberg with swordsunless its a fashion item And the swords dont match as well.But Ricky is the man in the know Kevin in Deva.

HeikoGrusdat Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 yup, looks like a nice homework......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Probably had a 1914 EK2 ribbon swapped off when this sadly damaged bar was squished, destroying the pin.TWO Hindenburg crosses for combatants are indeed impossible.BTW, the silver PLASTIC backing is extremely uncommon and after long study, original to the period. Now if only we knew who the strange maker of such a tab-back bar WAS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
