Chris Boonzaier Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 OK, I am confused....Why the 3 different widths?I picked up a few lengths of ribbon this weekens.... the one for the bar 25mm... understood.... the 30cm for buttonhole... but why the 35mm?
ccj Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Chris, first off, wonderful display of bravery awards. i think the widths are typically for the following but I've seen button hole ribbons of various widths. 35mm- medal ribbon 30mm- button hole and sometimes on medal25mm- ordenspange and sometimes button hole25mm- ribbon bars, typically short bars of 3 or less15mm- ribbon bars, typically 2 or more
ccj Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Oh, and I've often thought that the wider ribbons were for higher grade awards like the UK but don't know that the be true. It seems many Max-Joe orders are on very wide ribbons. not my medals, from Internet Edited April 18, 2015 by ccj
spolei Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Hello,I think the 35mm ribbon is from the first awarding. In the 30th, there would be manufactured different kinds of bars, so you needdifferent sizes of ribbons. look here the bars of my relative. Upper was made of the original ribbons. The medal is a post-war production.The original is lost. Most time he wear the TM seperate from the bar.The small bars are made from the 15mm ribbons and the lower ribbins are about 20 - 25 mm.
