Peter J Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I just recieved a ribbon bar from my friend Christian L and while studying it, I noticed an unfamiliar design on the Treue Dienst device attached to it. There is no question about the originality, but if mirrored, it looks like a Finnish insignia cheersPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 :Cat-Scratch: VERY weird! What does the rest of the ribbon bar look like, front and back?This is a maker variant I'v never seen before and maybe there are odd things about other devices or their bar backings?

Peter J Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) This is a beat-up bar, but I needed the Customs device. The first two decorations have remnants of the ribbon still attached under the backing cloth. I've made the obverse image slightly lighter for better viewing.cheersPeter Edited July 31, 2008 by Peter J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 How about the same size closeup on the Zoll eagle? I can't tell how it might different from the one in the Ribbon Bar Devices Gallery one, aside from the wearing dent on the stomach of yours. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hmmm. I would say these are EXACTLY the same,So that leaves us with ONLY the "stubby TDK" to watch for. Anybody else got another with two arms of the swastika shorter? http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?autocom=galler...si&img=2224:cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well, almost the same. The left tip of the wreath on mine isn't pointing upwards, which would be a typical characteristic for this decoration. Other than that it's difficult to tell them apart.TWO!? Take a closer look Rick, all four are actually shorter, hence my reference to Finnland cheersPeterHmmm.
