2 super ribbon bars

[Poulton Palmer]

Hi guys,

I just saw these on german ebay. If they are real they must be of highly decorated officers. I think they are real fakes off course. But I am not an expert. There are people here on the forum with great knowledge about these kind of ribbon bars. Can you please look if I am right? And why are these fakes, where to look at (for me it is more or less a gut feeling).

They are ornate! Are there photos of the backsides?

[Poulton Palmer]

Hi Paul,

ornate they are indeed, but genuine? I was looking at the biddings on these two and the prices were already very high. Probably they are indeed genuine?

Pictures of the back are not available.

Greetings,

Poulton

Good day to everyone!

I just took another look at these bars and I saw that they were withdrawn from the auction by the seller. Are they sold to someone after negotiating directly? Or something else? Strange.

He either received an out of auction offer he couldn't refuse or a bidder proved they were modern repros...
