WJT Posted June 14, 2016 Author Posted June 14, 2016 I did find this Iron Cross in the box of my Grandfather's and Great Grandfather's Medals. On another site I was told it did not belong together. They were the only two items - Cross with no ribbon and ribbon with no medal. Possible?
Von Thronstahl Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 It is not possible. It looks like this: Never mind the fact that there is no such medal ribbon, the ribbon is narrower than it should be so it would be difficult to make standard trifolded ribbon. I think somebody played with German patriotika ribbon.
WJT Posted June 15, 2016 Author Posted June 15, 2016 Do you think it went with this? It was in the box also.

paul wood Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 It is one of many Veteran's organisations insignia. A whole collecting sphere on its own Paul
Rogi Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) if its a vet organizations you'll need to find an expert here that could help. Maybe post in the German section of the forum that deals with this. It looked like someone folded the Irons Cross ribbon to me, but lots of things carry these colors Edited June 17, 2016 by Rogi
