    So what exactly gives this away as bad? The combination itself?

    Regards

    Mike

    Hi Guys,

    I am wondering as Mike was what give this away - as someone relativly green with medal bars this one caught my eye when I saw the listing! Ribbons appear to have some wear etc.

    Regards

    I'll make a guess

    its nice old ribbon

    perhaps recycled from another bar

    and I suspect that from the holes

    left from where it had been sewn before

    but the thing most striking

    is the non-combatant EK is

    hanging from a ribbon that is of incorrect width

    what more might be wrong I leave for our expert to reveal

    I know I have plenty to learn

    The onlky thing I can see it that the style of the bar, trapazoid, is the very early war type and possible out of use by the time the Meck was being awarded. Is is possible a 1870 EK2 and 1870 Meck would be more appropriate?

    That design was still fabricated in the thirties

    Errrrrrrr .... Could it be that this award is the right one to go with the NC EK?

    Ah, nice war honor medal...on a bow-style NC-ribbon for women.

    I have the same medal with the same bow-style ribbon for combatants (extreme rare!).

    It?s possible that this award goes the NC-IC, but not on a bow for women :lol:

    The combination NC-iron cross and NC-war merit cross Lippe-Detmold is a quite common and possible combination.

    The problem with this offer is the seller and his "very special" medalbars...

    By the way the seller gives no guarantee for the combination of awards on his medalbars...

    he only guarantees that the awards and ribbons are original :rolleyes:

    Please think about this carefully...

    Best regards

    BINGO!

    Right stuff, plausible combination.

    Assembled recently.

    Note the soil pattern on the ribbons.

    Note that the top edge of the ribbons have been "sanded".

    This fellow goes a long, long way to make his items appear real.........

    Unfortunately, they are not!
