army historian Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Against my better judgment I purchased this two medal group. I think the medals are good - but not sure of the bars, they look good. Your opinions are welcome. It was advertised as re - ribboned. Thanks and Cheers Captain Albert
army historian Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Here is a better view of the bars. Cheers Captain Albert Edited February 15, 2011 by army historian
Naxos Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I agree - the medals do look original and so does the bar itself. The ribbons look very fresh and a bit off color (probably the picture) but appear to be original in weave and material. The two Gefechts-Spangen make sense in their combination. However, I can not comment on their originality. Let's wait for more input from others.

I am hoping the bars are good, but would not be shocked if they are not. I bought the group on the assumption the bars were probably fakes. Cheers your friend George
saschaw Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I do not like the bar nor the clasps, not am I sure on the Kolonial-Denkmünze. The Saxon medal, of course, is fine. But that does not change much here, I think...

VtwinVince Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I saw this one, and was not convinced on the combination or the clasps.

HeikoGrusdat Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 100% faked clasps...... these are the money makers on this bar (that does not look very good too - sorry ;-) ) so unfortunately you have a bad thing there..... :shame:
army historian Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks HeikoGrusdat that is why I posted this. I figured that the bars were probably fakes - any comments on the colonial Medal? Thanks Captain Albert
