Uffz. Rohleder Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hello all, here some eye candy for you guys My favorite Afrika Korps Portrait - a young Unteroffizier with Pith helmet, Infantry Assault badge, Iron Cross 2nd class and an unknown ribbon bar. Maybe someone here can tell me what the ribbon is. GreetingsStefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryT Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If the ribbon is one colour it could be for a Long Service Medal.Cheers,Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uffz. Rohleder Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thanks Larry, But i wonder because the ribbon has no eagle -not Even a hole for the missing device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uffz. Rohleder Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Could it be a italien valor medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I seems to have one broad part in the middle with a border on either side of a different colour(s). I was going to suggest the Anschluss Medal but I think the border colours for that have the border parts in a different order, i.e. white, black, white on either side but the image seems to suggest black, white, black (or rather dark, light, dark).

Jock Auld Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Perhaps you could do a close up of the ribbon as I just loose resolution when I zoom in. There is a dark patch center that might indicate where an eagle may have been or is that just how it looks on my screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uffz. Rohleder Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thanks you guys, its a real head scratcher.... Its a Single Colored ribbon - no holes - no missing eagle. Thats the best close up i can do. Maybe i can make a better one tomorrow in sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It's most likely a service ribbon for either RAD or police....of the two, I would go for RAD 2nd class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uffz. Rohleder Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks, after looking for a while online this is the most plausible! First i were a little confused about the service ribbons - i thought those both service ribbons had a rad or Police device. totaly forgot that the lower Grades of those dont have a device Edited June 29, 2015 by Uffz.
