Chip Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Hello all,Can anyone tell me which veteran's medal this style of bar is for? The background looks pebbled, but it is actually a sort of crosshatching. I don't think it is for a Kyffh?user medal, but I know there were several others that had "campaign" bars. Any advice would be appreciated.Best regards,Chip Edited October 20, 2008 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeikoGrusdat Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 This clasp is for the so called "Flanderncross" - the rememberance cross of the marinecorps flandern....sorry, I have a new pc and no pictures available but you can find this cross and ribbon several times in this forum and I am shure some fellow member will add a picture soon...

Noor Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I saw same clasp on MEDALHOUSE March 17, 2007 Auction cataloge, on the item no. 211. - stunning medal bar with lots of Weimar period clasps on German awards ("Luftkampf" clasp on EK2!?!) + Finnish Order of Cross of Liberty. But exact same clasp was on Flanders cross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Thanks for the replies. So are these faked? If so, what is your evaluation of this piece? Good?Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
