Craig Cocks Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Hi Nick, I'm a new member on the forum, was wondering if you could help with some information. I have a medal mounting business in South Australia which caters mainly to Australian Military and Emergency Service personnel. I have recently been asked by a client if I can get ribbon for a Slovakian medal which you have posted a photograph on this topic - "11..Commemorative Medal for participation in Military Operation." Are you able to give me any contact details for any person or business I can contact to ask about getting a couple of metres of that ribbon? I'd appreciate any help you can give, thanks. Craig

Craig Craig,do you mean this award?It is not easy to get the ribbon,I do not work the material.But the medal is not expensive,it is not difficult to buy it.30-40euro?
Craig Cocks Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Hi Nick, Yes that is the one I mean. Do you know of any company which makes that ribbon or sells it to medal mounting businesses? If I do a remount of a client's medals I would need a minimum length of 250mm of that ribbon to properly mount the medal in the way Australians wear them when I include it in their medal group, so I would like to buy at least a 2 metre length of the ribbon if I can. Do you have any of those medals you could sell? If so, what length of ribbon would come with the medal please? Also, I expect the bar which is on the ribbon must be bought separately, can you tell me where I could buy those if needed? Craig Edited September 1, 2018 by Craig Cocks

Craig Sorry,Craig,but I do not have any information about the company that produces the ribbons to this medal.Personally ,i do not have this medal in property,but it is not difficult to buy it in veterans.Lenght of the ribbon?8-9cm ,I do not know.I do not collect these medals. I do not know if it is possible to buy the medal abroad,but in Slovakia it si possible.If you need the medal in the future I can ask the dealers in the Collectors Meeting ,27.10.Sooner,not.
