avadski Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I know the scans look like from sci-fi movie but that's not important My question is - is the bar OK? MVO and MVK in one bar? How can that happen? Was an NCO awarded with MVK and later promoted to officer and awarded with MVO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Those ribbons look awfully fresh, especially when looking at the wear to the MVO. Also, the EK2 looks very minty. I'm always suspicious of bars with uneven wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good number of senior NCO's received battlefield commissions and were later awarded the MVO IV w/swords. Thus, one sees a mix of NCO and Officer grade awards to one individual. I believe that these battlefield commissions were only considered temporary. Such a practical solution to the Officer attrition problem was apparently necessary. Senior NCO's with their extensive combat experience could fill such a role brilliantly. Best regards, "SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
