    Have you flashed these ribbons with a blacklight?

    They are remarkably new looking, as well as "loose" and very sloppily applied.

    It appears that the Hindenburg Cross was squished in, almost throwing the Iron Cross off the bar

    very very sloppy

    and this is not in the correct mounting precedence for 1934+.

    The very old fashioned brass backing is more typical of the 1890s than circa 1915

    and the pre-Hindenburg awards with flat bottomed ribbons would be very unusual for a Prussian or Naval officer of circa 1914-20.
