The EK Black/White ribbon

[Paul C]

I get a little forgetful sometimes (happens with old age) and lose track of which decorations, besides the EK use the b/w ribbon. If I remember correctly there is the:

RAO W/Swords

KO w/Swords

What else? If you can post a pic that would be great :jumping:

Hi Paul,

of the Prussian orders there were awards on b/w ribbon:

KO2, KO2X, KO3, KO3X, KO4, KO4X

RAO2El, RAO2ELXaR, RAO3S, RAO3SX, RAO3SKr, RAO3SXaR, RAO4, RAO4X, RAO4XKr

HOH3(only 2 awards), HOH3XJohKr (only one)

As you can see on the picture of Generalarzt Grasnick persons awarded with higher classes had not to give back the orders with the b/w ribbon.

Kind regards, Komtur.
