IrishGunner Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I have been looking at the Hanseatic Cross series (Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck) and have found on the internet (including some scans here on GMIC) that the ribbon for the Lubeck cross appears two ways.1) Red on the left / white on the right2) White on the left / red on the rightAnyone have an idea as to the regulation?
Guest Rick Research Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Von Hessenthal and Schreiber just say half red/half white. I don't think I've ever seen anything that specified which side went where. That got more confusing with the German style of overlapping ribbons, so if red was on the left of a U shaped drape-- it ended up on the right on the other side.Or vice versa.Or...
IrishGunner Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks, Rick. I guess an informal internet research project is in order just for curiosity's sake of seeing which order might be in the majority.
Bernhard H.Holst Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 According to Nimmergut's "Baenderkatalog" (ribbon catalog) of 1992 the Hanseatenkreuz for Luebeck the ribbon should show white-red from the viewer's point. Or in wear starting with white. As stated before the colours do get shown in the two possible combinations.Bernhard H. Holst
