Nick Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 This is an unusual pair and I am sure Rick R will come in on this one. What do you all think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) I love it! Strange fade pattern on the police medal though! Is the partwith the police emblem a different piece of ribbon sewn onto the bar?RegardsPaul Edited December 11, 2005 by Paul Reck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Brain says seen that bar before, memory says ain't agonna recollect who had it.Yup, somebody had that out in bright sunlight and the different dye sure as heck faded out differently.See my Luftwaffe General's ribbon bar, where the self-same ribbon bar I have that he was wearing was already turning the blue light like this DURING THE WAR:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=3...indpost&p=36997The FIRST Type Polizei 18 and 25 had a ribbon bar mounting to attach the separate eagle device. the second type wove the eagle into the ribbon, which was then usually folded oddly and had a SLIT through the ribbon for the ring.

Nick Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 RickIts more the ribbon I am interested in, than the fading. It is to my best knowledge a silk ribbon, look at the edging/finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Nice bar and yet again clear evidence of different stocks given the fade. What is most interesting is this fellow had 25 Years Polizei long service by 1942 and no other awards!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
