Guest Rick Research Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 How about this for a mutant? How could they have got the Iron Crown ribbon stripes WRONG? This is exactly the ribbon for a Saxon Friedrich August Medal BUT with a full size half "Kriegsdekoration" exactly as found on an Iron Crown!!!!

The picture below shows a tunic set up for attaching this type of ribbon mounting system. I had never seen this mounting system before so passed on the tunic and I wish now that I had not not.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tunics have the loops for the medals but not the snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmar Lang Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hello,the owner of that ribbon bar (here of German type), was an officer for sure, since the first two decorations with swords can be attributed to the Milit?rverdienstkreuz III Klasse mit Schwertern and to the Bronzene Milit?rverdienstmedaille ("Signum Laudis") with Swords.An NCO could have received only the Goldenes (Silbernes) Verdienstkreuz mit der Krone (ohne Krone): both, after 1914 were awarded with "war" ribbon and swords.Best wishes,Enzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
