Thoughts on Medal bar ??

[scottplen]

I thought crown order with swords only awarded for colonial service  ?? What do you think ?

That's one of those dealers you need to be careful with imo.

just was surprised to see crown order with swords ! Priced high !

That was a golden rule of Rick's - when you see a KO w/X or RAO w/X there must be a campaign medal on the bar.

Thought so ! What else could go there ? Instead of Crown order ? Is rest of bar good or total fantasy?

These are not great photos, but to me it appears that #2 and #3 were added long after something else was removed.  In #2, I would venture it was the same award, a HOH was removed and a HOH was later attached.  In #3 something similar happened. 

I would like to see under those ribbons in #2 and #3.  I suspect you will find some late needlework.  However, I find the whole bar suspicious until a reasonable storyline could be pieced together as to how the bar started out, then stripped, and then repaired again.  That is if I also believe the tired label on a mint-ish felt.
