JapanX Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 But something tells me that Chris isn`t really interested in order ribbons... Only medals Well, if there are replacement ribbons for medals, than they have the same characteristics as modern replacement ribbons for orders.

Dieter3 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 But one should always remember that cavalier could bought replacement ribbon for his order or medal. Anytime he or she felt like doing so. Here how this replacement ribbons (and original pockets for them) looked like. That is a great photo - collection of replacements with pockets! Here comes a nice example. Is this really light blue? Well, I'd call it a bluish-grey. The rosette is more of a light blue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 That is a great photo - collection of replacements with pockets! Courtesy of Nick Komiya Well, I'd call it a bluish-grey. The rosette is more of a light blue! Different colors of rosette and ribbon ... Usual story with sacred treasure! Different manufacturers (very likely scenario)? Nice piece! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Here are a couple of interesting 1874 ribbons - old style eye, "new" style hook attached in ribbon fold! I think these are replacment ribbons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yep, I am familiar with these two specimens The right one definitely has a replica ribbon. The left one is more promising, but it could be a later replacement (but pretty old one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gensui Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Nick, great job! Highly appreciate your overview! But something tells me that Chris isn`t really interested in order ribbons... Only medals Don't listen to "something" :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gensui Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 How about your thoughts about below photo of this ribbon? There are one (big) point, I'm wondering about, but won't tell you yet. BTW, it's a ribbon of a Const. Medal. BR, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) BTW, it's a ribbon of a Const. Medal. No prompting! How about your thoughts about below photo of this ribbon? I don't think that this is original ribbon. But the gear came from the right period. Somebody tried to do his/her best while attaching this old gear to the ribbon Moire is wrong + original ribbon has small red stripes at the sides.

Gensui Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Moire is wrong + original ribbon has small red stripes at the sides. Bingo! That was my same thought! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
