webr55 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 My first Slovakian WW2 ribbon bar. Yes, it is a tab back - but it looks good, consistent wear and so on.Not sure if I got the ribbons right: Silver Bravery Medal, Bronze Bravery Medal, EK2 and with a "Za Zasluhy" ("For Bravery"?) device - not sure what this indicates. But I guess an NCO.Anyone got examples to compare? With German awards too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRA Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hello Webr55!"Za Zasluhy" is more equivalent to "for merit" than "for bravery", which I guess makes sense since that ribbon is at the end of the ribbon bar. Maybe a long server?Greetings/GRA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Mine must have been at a stay at home senior NCO, I think-- while your NCO was clearly a Russian Front combatant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webr55 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 The more I look at this bar, the more spectacular I find it:How many non-German ribbon bars (discounting Austrian) with the 1939 Iron Cross have we got? I think I've seen maybe one or two Spanish ones from Blue Division members. Please show some examples if you got pictures or bars themselves!
