J Temple-West Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I bet the owner of this bar became a little upset when he could no longer wear it after the order (dated 29th March 1944) prohibited the further wearing of the Italian-German campaign medal.
Stogieman Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 so much for "allies", eh? There's similar situations in many different eras of Imperial, especially pre-empire days!
J Temple-West Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 That collection of yours is certainly coming along in leaps and bounds, Don.
Richard Gordon Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 I only have 2 TR court mounted bars. This one...
Richard Gordon Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 ...and this beauty! Minty round 3 from Ebay and matching ribbon bar (also from Ebay)
Bob Hunter Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 ...a big plus when it shows up with a ribbon bar!

This pretty much works in the favor that these Afrika Medals are good. Can you get a reverse pic of the Africa Medal? Is the mm on the left or right when viewed at the reverse? Is the name on the bottom incluse or relief? Probably relief based on this type Edited August 20, 2005 by Darrell
Guest Rick Research Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Ahhhhhhhhh, Don! THAT is one outfitter's "label"-- the whole thing is actually embroidered onto the one piece backing!!!!You should bring that one over into Imperial-- it will get quite a reaction in there, kind of lost here in the WW2 stuff!As for the ban on Italian awards... not a MEDAL bar, but this is what "thrifty" Vizeadmiral Lietzmann did with his "after" ribbon bars after Rome flipped--[attachmentid=8876]He just slapped a black patch right over his Italian Crown Order, device and all, and figured nobody would notice that "Terry Thomas's teeth" gap in his lower row![attachmentid=8874]This is what his "before" set looks like:[attachmentid=8877]
Bob Hunter Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 (edited) Is that pragmatic or what? Edited August 21, 2005 by Bob Hunter
