Luke Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 At long last this arrived, my first "old style" ribbon bar. Can't get over the weight on these things, alot more than I expected. Not entirely sure what the last 2 decorations are, I was thinking Japanese Sun & Kite Orders, but just a guess. Any Chance traceable?

Guest Rick Research Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Epson scanner. Failing that best and only solution... take whatever you've made on defective and inferior equipment and run it through the dinosaur era "paint" buried on your computer-- Crop wasted space, reduce size to viewable. Post. 70K is a VAST and UNNEEDED "limit" with an Epson scanner. And is all done in one step without any of the compression / decompression / recompression / regression / recession / divine intercession / nonsense all other defective and inferior equipment forces on the carbon based life forms enslaved to them. PS: Don't forget the reverse!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi Christophe - thanks so much, email sent Rick - ya I'd like an Epson - I'm slumming as far as scanners go - I've cropped and cropped and cropped til I can't crop no more You can only shave so much hair til you're bald...

Guest Rick Research Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 OK, Brunswick and Denmark. I don't find this magnificence holding anything from completed 1914-18 Rolls combinations, which means the mind-destroying process of back-tracking through tens of thousands of pre-war annual Rank List pages. :speechless1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Nope. Five EQUAL stripes there green/white/green/white/green. We are not having any luck with the 1914 edition, so I suspect this will turn out to be someone who died before the war and God help us require searching of EVERY annual list from 1899 to 1913 until he is found. :speechless1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Here's a prime example of another Weird Awards Group which could NOT have been identified without a photo of the wearer in uniform, with photographer's studio cities as CLUES. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40299 That guy also got an HEK3-- for no apparent "reason" whatsoever!!!! :banger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 No joy with the 1914 List, Luke? I just finished the 1909 with no match found. :banger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Big negative - a few "foul tips" but no matches! No joy with the 1914 List, Luke? I just finished the 1909 with no match found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Every now and then research pays off - no I didn't find the owner of this bar, but going through my 1914 Ranklist I bought from some dealer in Germany (who probably never opened the thing) I stumbled on this along the way. Must be the Irish blood in me If the picture isn't great, ya its a real (old) 4 leaf clover - lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Not to get discouraged as this wonderful Old Style bar languishes--I can't for the life of me figure out the career path that got this guy these awards-- but here is an example where a PHOTO reveals rank/branch/place and those clues are often the essential missing element-- http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40456 because "usually" a combination like yours would leap off the page. ONE of us would remember having turned pages by it. :banger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
