Noor Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Hello,Here is one very strange ribbon bar.Can someone tell me please:1. What ribbons are 2nd and 3rd (cant find again what awards they would be with the swords???)2. Why not LS award3. Black blate - is it look okey? One pin is missing.So.... good or baaaaaaaaad?
HeikoGrusdat Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 ??????hhhhhhhh........................... my best guess would be:Sachsen Friedrich August medals in silver and bronze on the wrong ribbons..................... have seen this some times over the years that yellow blue ribbons were taken for these medals on ribbon bars when the right ribbon was not in stock....
Noor Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 Thanks Heiko!I was thinking about the FAM as well but why then noncombat ribbon and swords they confuse me??What to do... buy it or not... ?
HeikoGrusdat Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 no Timo, thats not the noncom ribbon, that was used as combattant ribbon (if my theory is right of course...) - the noncom ribbon for the FAM was yellow-black.....
Stogieman Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Heiko is right, probably used to represent FAM. The only thing that puzzles me is the use of swords. With years of collecting Saxony ounder my belt I have never seen swords used on a ribbon. Is it possible the ribbon is for something else?
Guest Rick Research Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Can't think of anything else that could even fill in. I don't doubt it's an old original bar, but anything Not Right always drives me crazy-- and that's a very short trip!
Noor Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 Thanks guys! I was one moment thinking about the Braunschweig noncombatant War merit Cross as well but still... swords. Anything from Austria with the same ribbon?Good to know its look original.... now this bar will be on the way to my house next week!
Stogieman Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Actually.... Yes. The Austrian Order of The Iron Crown has a similar ribbon, but the stripes are closer to the edge. But there would only be one worn, the swords (if used) would be a very different style and sometimes, the "KD aka Kriegs=Dekoration" would be an enameled, miniature set of Laurel Leaves.Photo below, bottom bar as an example
Noor Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 Today this one arrived and I maid some extra better pictures...any new toughts
Noor Posted May 27, 2008 Author Posted May 27, 2008 So, what I can write up about this ribbon bar to my small collection catalogue-database .... unofficial way to present FAM-s or Austrian ribbons?
