notned Posted April 8, 2006 Author Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) and the reverse...I really do not know what went on with the scissors...how did he ( or She) mamage to cut it like that??but one thing...i am seeing a trend with the Hindenburg crosses..the ribbon has a different furling at the bottoms...so the bars must have been a duo until Adolf instituted the HK, so the Vets went and added the HK, and the tailors had a different style to the original bar makers....along with replacing the original 2 place bar metal with a 3 placer...etc...pity they could not see the sense of making the bar look symmetrical...never mind..i guess time and an growly boss was more of an issue back then...rather than getting the bar looking like it was originally this way.... but it IS interesting to see the varying styles......
