Prussia Miniature Ribbon Bar Device for Imperial Red Cross

[alan_g]

I would like to share this small miniature ribbon bar device for the Imperial Red Cross medal. It is highly detailed and not commonly found.

Front and back scans of the whole piece.

Hi Alan, you are quite correct. I think there's only been a few of these shown. Check Rick's device database for other examples.

Not one of these in the devices database that I can see. Just had a quick look through.

Best Regards

Both those devices are not official to those ribbons, but it was common practice to attach them.  They were available as stickpins, miniatures and ribbon devices, authorized or not, from tens of thousands of retail sources in Germany, 1919-1939.

 

Still, that's an original ribbon bar, obviously unaltered, and it looks really cool with those devices!
