Noor Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi,I got yesterday two new ribbon bars! Some information would be great.Especially about the three place one... is the last ribbon Life Saving medal or Westwall medal? Also what period Prussian Red Cross medal would be? Was those awarded as well after 1918?Its my first ribbon bar with the Olympic award ribbon!!! And two place ribbon bar. What would be the second ribbon? Westwall?

HeikoGrusdat Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Timo ...... I have a bad feeling with the first bar the second bar looks like it is the ribbon for Sachsen freidrich August medal.... but mybe the picture doesn`t bring out the colours as in reality...

Paul R Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 If the first bar is legit, it is upside down. I would think that the yellow ribbon is a Lifesaving medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noor Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi,Thanks Heiko and Paul! Even if the first one is bad then I didnt lose much. Just hard to get those lessons this way, same time there is nothing to do .Heiko, can you please point out for a study reasons what indicate that or is it the combination what dont make sense (missing Hindenburg, etc)?Thanks!

saschaw Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I'm with Heiko in all he said - the second one has a Saxon FAM and I don't like the first one. The ribbons look to fresh and I don't like the combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 That is a bizarre pin arrangement on the triple, and I agree-- a MOST peculiar combination in incorrect order, with a very sloppy backing patch. Try flashing it with a blacklight and see if the white stripes glow bright electric blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 prussian red cross was issued well into the weimar periodBut for WWI action, wasn't it? However, I don't like that bar - even if it didn't glow under black light (does it?). It glows yet without black light to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcross Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 All I can be certain ofis a certificate I havefor a 3rd class medalwith a date of 1923I have seen somewhere in a bookthat they were issued until 1924but can't remeber which bookits not in the first 3 I took off the shelfbut the bar doesn't look right to me eitherits rather hard for me to imagine3rd class PRK being of highest precidentwhen would that be the case?
