Gldank Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 This French ribbon bar is on Belgian eBay. I think it is too fantastic to be believable. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hmmmm.... 100% fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Most pitiful and fantastical. A perfect example as to why 90.327% of Western ribbon bars are non-colletiible crap. Thiis an especially sad and lunatic example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gldank Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) When I saw the US Navy Cross, Silver Star and the French Wound Medal with all those stars, I just had to share this with you all. I see it was removed from eBay, the seller was 2emrepper( 7 ) Edited March 21, 2009 by Gldank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Some one has really enjoyed putting ribbons together. Absolutly impossible, of course. But why get angry ? Who has to buy this ? It simply shows, once again, that either you know what you are looking at and recognize something you want, or you don't know and you take chances or keep clear. Thanks for sharing this eye-full. I really enjoyed looking at it. RegardsVeteran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 surely you mean 90.327 of ALL ribbon bars? Or do eastern bars have built in fakeproofing?Many of the "Eastern" ribbon bars are safe in that there is so little eBayish interest in them that they are arrely faked. Japan is a partial exception here as one sees many "parts" ribbon bars. Few denizens of eBay get excited by a good Afghan ribbon bar (even if they knew what it was), but when they see something German . . . or even French . . . .It is always sad that an abomination such as this will probably sell at an inflated price to a new collector. The seller will go away happy and rich. The purchaser may eventually learn how he has been cheated and will likely leave the hobby. Let us face it guys, we are an aging hobby with scant new blood and the fakers drive the newbies away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
