cartoonman Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 My friend Neil acquired this ribbon bar recently... and is drawing a blank on the black (?) ribbon. Any guesses? Any informed opinions? I know, I know, where's a photo of the back? He hasn't sent one yet... ---Cartoonman
Guest Rick Research Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 :Cat-Scratch: Ho. It's a tabby-- can tell that from the front. The back will be good only to see whether that spot has been tampered with compared to the tabs on the other three. Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting. Must be yet another (why has "everybody" got one but meeeeeeee?) completely totally unauthorized "Kleindekoration" version wear of either a Prussian, Protestant, Johanniter Order or the vatican supported, Catholic, Order of Malta. Position here suggest the former to me. Nice!!!! :cheers:
speedytop Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Hi, I don't see black, it is dark green! It could be for example: Brunswick, lifesaving medal. Uwe
cartoonman Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 Hi, I don't see black, it is dark green! It could be for example: Brunswick, lifesaving medal. Uwe Good thinking, Uwe, but isn't this the Brunswick medal, with a not-very-dark green ribbon? ---Cartoonman
speedytop Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Hi Catroonman, the regulations say "dunkelgrün" dark green! Uwe
cartoonman Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 Hi Catroonman, the regulations say "dunkelgrün" dark green! Uwe Ach, so.... aber dunkelgrün sieht's nicht aus! It doesn't look dark green, or dark like Neil's ribbon, anyway... It's an interesting idea, but do you think a "dark green" ribbon could appear almost black after time? I'm open to suggestions, I'm just not sure about this one... Tschüß! Cartoonman

Cartoonman Also, Neil confirms the color: Ummm, it was green. I cleaned it up a bit and found out the ribbon was dark green. Neil ---Cartoonman
Guest Rick Research Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Then it is far more likely to be something from Anhalt, given the extreme rarity of the Brunswick Lifesaving Medal and because virtually all recipients of that award are known.
RAO Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 But maybe it is dark, dark, dark blue and a prussian long service medal or cross? Best regards Mike
speedytop Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Hallo mike, "maybe it is dark, dark, dark blue" It is definetely dark, dark dark green, without any doubts. We can now chose between medals for Ostvölker, old medals from Sachsen-Altenburg, Sachsen "Wissenschaft und Kunst" and Nassau "Landwirtschaft". But I think, that we can rather follow Rick, for example with Anhalt, long service medal, OEK 88 or 89. Uwe
