Guest Rick Research Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ordens Herold 1868 from the Prussian Orders Chancery. First up, the various 1864 Crosses: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ordens Herold 1868 for the 1866 Crosses-- simplified as only combatant and noncombatant ribbons for the 3 combat and 1 noncombatant crosses:The good news is that, rather than looking for any original LOOSE ribbon this old (GOOD LUCK ) what very often does turn up are the hook backed rhomboid medal bars, stripped of their awards... and you can then rebuild them with the correct awards.That, of course, leads you to the Magic World of Medal Bars.... :catjava: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
