drspeck Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hi all, Received this one lately. It's pretty worn and must have had quite a rough live. The blue's and white's have all faded to an even colour. All the parts are UV negative. The SS devise is a bit loose so I was able to make a photo of the ribbon colour behind the device - the ribbon has less faded behind the device than the rest showing remains of the original colour, matching the contours of the device - also the device has left an imprint in the cloth. Opinions? Regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Faded ribbons, SS mini, construction and award time-line all look to be correct, but... Is it me?....or do I see the outline of an attachment on the ribbon next to the SS mini.If not, i'll go back to my beer in the garden!

Chris Boonzaier Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I also see "something" on the 3rd ribbon... but it does not look like pins have been through... I think a tough call, but I would go for it if the price were right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Auld Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Just a thought but why is the blue so faded and the rest not so? Is there a technical reason that the blue ribbon fades quicker? Jock:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
