Prussia Not only women ................................

................. wore 'bow'-type ribbons.

[Paul R]

Now that is a first for me! I would have definitely grabbed this award as being a rare female awardee piece.

That is the correct way for a Hussar to wear an EKII on the Attila tunic.

I have some images as well - will see if I can find them

A couple of Hussar Attilas without the bow ..........................

[Ulsterman]

I have a couple of photos of the EK on a bow, both civilians in suits on their wedding day. That Hussar picture is superb!

Here is one (sorry for the poor image) - I have better ones, somewhere

Here is another Husar "mit Schleife"

Maybe it´s just me, but I see big differences between what is called ladies bow, husaren bow and wedding bow.

[kasle]

Husaren bow.

Simple schleife, ball knob.

[kasle]

Wedding bow.

Simple schleife with square bow. Ribbon is not pressed to butterfly style.

[kasle]

Ladies bow

Double schleife, sometimes with free ends of ribbon, sometimes not.
