David Gregory Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 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./David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?Paul Reck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hindenburg Cross is actually a separate ribbon!!! The two Austrian medals are printed on one ribbon.Best regardsPaul Edited October 1, 2005 by Paul Reck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Here is an example of a classical 2 place ribbon (Iron Cross + East Campaign) as proposed by Detlev Niemann.Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
