SS Ribbon Bar experts

Gents,

What say you on these SS devices?

I have never seeen a bar where they have been sewn down like this. Are they good ones?

Not so sure about the EK Spange either...

Thanking you in advance

Srry, but no chance!

It is an Ohio nonsense bar.

There's less than a dozen known original examples of this device out and about. I will try and dig through my archives for images of an accepted original device on a ribbon bar I own. The differences between an original and these low-grade cast fakes is pretty striking.

Thanks Gents! Was thinking it wasn't a good one, especially as they are so rare!

Stogie: Is that the LiebStArt Medical officer that we saw at Lowell?

Hi Geoff, no, this one has been in and out of my collection twice. Actually just decided to part with it.
