    Sam,

    The bar seems fine to me. Many more or less "standard" combinations of two or three ribbons were produced in one piece to save time mounting them.

    Besides this WW2 combination, you will typically also find them for the 1914 iron cross together with the ribbons of many of the common awards from the other Imperial German states.

    I agree with David. A lot of common issue ribbon combinations were printed onto one larger ribbon. This saved time with ribbon bar assembly. I, for one, find bars like this highly desireable.

    What is the longest bar that was made from a single ribbon? Do you think that there could be any four or even five place bars printed on one large ribbon?

    THAT's an interesting survey question and will be nice to see!

    I think THREE is the maximum non-Royal "one piece" style I've ever seen. Anybody seen a four?

    All I have is a two place "one piece" ribbon as intregated into this three ribbon bar! The Hindenburg Cross is actually a separate ribbon!!! The two Austrian medals are printed on one ribbon.

    Best regards
