christerd Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I have just bought this , did I made a mistake or ? I read the ribbon bar as EK - MeZ -Old HO - Old Mvk - Colonial Medal - Silesian eagle - EhK - Long Service What do you think ? Christer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Südwestafrika-Denkmünze, not Kolonial-Denkmünze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 You know my motto: Show us the back too! Is it a Feldgrau tabby or nickled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The sad thing is, we can probably make a list of SWA MEz/OV recipients, but no way to verify WW1 recipients as an NCO. I'm rather surprised not to see Xs on the colonial Oldenburg House cross ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerd Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Here is the ribbon bar at home It is of the late 1930s design with tabs on the backside , but cant see that it has been messed with . Pass blacklight test of course and the ribbons looks to be same age. I suppose totally impossible to id but still a nice bar, here together with my only other OV ribbon bar , discussed in another thread and also impossible to Id....
