Saxon long service ribbon bar

[Richarddwh]

I recently acquired this Saxon long service bar, it was only when I compared to another I have that I realised the ribbon is the wrong design at least I think it is. Period error or a more recent deceit? Any opinions appreciated.

I haven't UV tested it, but the construction itself didn't ring any alarm bells.

Hi,

I had a look at my reference material and you're right in that this is the wrong ribbon. To me, the ribbon looks too clean for the age of the bar.

The ribbon being used is quite close to that of the Order of Military Merit from Brazil.

Richarddwh,

This is not a Saxon ribbon I can find in my book.

Did you get a chance to do the UV test?

Best wishes
