Lapa Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I saw this ribbon bar for sale, please comment on authenticity.William William,I can't comment about the German ribbons, but as to the Soviet ones, that's a rather strange combination and they would be out precedence order.Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Agreed. I feel uncertain. Why a Hans Beimler Medal and no Medaille f?r K?mpfer gegen Faschismus 1933-45?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi,forget it. Usual new fraud from partly original stocks.The Combo is so unlikely...All 4 classes of the Vaterl?ndische Verdienstorden, but just a bronze Kampforden, not a single Banner der Arbeit.Best regardsDaniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 New World,There are lots of these cloth fake ribbon bars for sale on ebay.de. So many that I would not buy any now, even those that were correct, without a guaranteed provenance from a known dealer or fellow collector.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Here are more, maybe from the same source. I think the Stasi ribbon is always a bad sign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Krause Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Actually this type of ribbon bars was handmade for only a very selected group of the top of the uniformed services.The usual soldier even up to LtGen?s have worn the cheap plastic / paper junk. Just a few people bought the expensive cloth / metal bars from the DDR Mint.The thing with DDR ribbon bars is always, that there was plenty of leftover stocks and even in the early 90ies the production for the collectors market was going on.Best regardsDaniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
