Sometimes I will buy a ribbon bar just to get a specific device such as...

Could someone help me identify the next to last ribbon on this bar?

Note that this thrifty warrior sewed his HK on the bar and left half of the ribbon to flap in the breeze.

Hi Bob,

From the colors it looks like a Bavarian Long service medals. I can't distinguisth well the stripes, but if there're more (4-5) and very are very narrow it looks almost like the Feuerwehr-Dienstausz.

ciao,

Claudio, from what I can see there are four white stripes on a field of faded blue the color of which is often associated with Bavarian ribbons. Does that help?

PS Could you post a picture of ribbon and medal you mentioned?

Thanks.

Hi bob,

Here is the medal with its ribbon... Of course on your ribbon bar it looks the light blue color looks a bit faded...

Ciao,

Here's the 15mm Bavarian ribbons collection of my brother.

Thanks again, Claudio. I would estimate that there are 2-3 narrow white stripes covered by the sewn on HK. That would seem to point toward the ribbon representing the Feuerwehr-Dienstausz. If that is the case then does it make sense on this bar given the other decorations present?

Hi Bob,

I like the claps on the Saxe Ernestine ribbon. Interresting ribbon bar.
