Chris Boonzaier Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 These are the wifes Great Grandfathers goodies... At some stage I would like to get them mounted..... Here is the million dollar question... waht would be the best way to have them mounted... and does anyone know anyone who is good at it? (Other than the ebay faker brigade ;-))
VtwinVince Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Chris, looks like an interesting combo. I would do it according to statutes. I've done a couple of medal bars myself, so if you need help, drop me a line.
Claudio Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Hi Chris, I stumbled on this webpage in Germany which apparently they mount orders on bars:http://www.ordensmanufaktur.de/ I never used their services, but accourding to them they already in business for 10 years. From the pictures it looks good, but not perfect. My brother however is really good at it (almost anal); he already restaured some of my bars. I might took a while to get it done, but it will look perfect. Send me a private PM if you are interested. ciao, Claudio Edited December 8, 2013 by Claudio
Paul C Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Claudio, It would be interesting to see some of your brothers work. Could you post a picture or two?
Claudio Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 This was one of his restauration's project: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/32182-medal-bar-of-the-later-generalmajor-hans-sturm/ the EK was broken and loose as well as the KVK2, the DA 25J and the Luitpold Med. Wasn't that easy as it looks, since the ribbons were very tightly sewn to the bar. It needed a lot of patience to restore it! ciao, Claudio
Claudio Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Some of my brother's single mounted bars... either partially restored or totally reworked with their original ribbons.
