bob wirtz Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Thank you for that information. Guess this guy fought mostly on the Eastern Front in WWI. Here is the back. I noticed gray-green thread on the back, which I assume is good. I've seen many of the new-made ribbon bars and they have this really sh1tty green thread on the backs. Hopefully this one passes muster. Bob Edited August 24, 2009 by bob wirtz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 That's one of Mister Ohio's Frankenstein bars. Actually quite plausible from the front, but with the tell tale hand made all brass backing and unnaturally positioned pin and catch. The hand snipped catch is in mockery of a stamped one-- which if this was, would teaar out of the top edge. Now the OTHER big one with the NSDAP 10 on it that you showed me.... :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, have you used a black light on this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob wirtz Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 No I haven't black lighted it. For the most part, I am not concerned with these ribbon bars being authentic or not. I just buy them to put on tunics. It seems that real ribbon bars are pretty difficult to acquire. Rick, I'll check out that other one. I thought this was the one that you viewed and liked.
