Looks like a genuine Third Reich Era Ribbon Bar to me.

I only have one ribbon bar in my collection. So here it is. MIke

Hi Mike,

Beautiful ribbon bar. I love the device "Gren. R. 3". I think it is only a soldier's ribbon bar. It is possible to see the back of this beauty !

Thanks for sharing

Hi Tony,

For me it's a good 1930's ribbon bar for a NCO. But our guru have to give its opinion. He'is the expert.

Heck of a good start you've got there. I think that's the only ribbon bar that I've seen with a spange on the Treue dem Regiment ribbon!

CM2X with date

SF3bX

DA

Centenarmedaille

This is most beautiful. Please, put my name on it in case something happens to you. Not that I wish for bad to happen... no, I just want to make sure it's safe and that most importantly, I get it.

[Deruelle]

No problem Charles

Only ones what I have

...so far, you mean.

They have a way of... accumulating when you get the ribbon bar collecting bug.

You already have a pair with the Bavarian ribbon bar and lapel bow ribbon trios. Sets are niiiiice.

[Noor]

Definitely ?so far? Even at the moment I am waiting two simple but nice ones by the post!

[Noor]

Hi everyone,

I just got those two ribbon bars and I have one question.

As I understand, there is:

I. 1. EK II

2. Bavaria Milit?r-Verdienstkreuz

3. Ehrenkreuz des Weltkrieges 1914-18

4. Hungary Magyar H?bor?s Eml?k?rem

II. 1. EK II

2. (Silberne?)Milit?rverdienstmedaille

3. Ehrenkreuz des Weltkrieges 1914-18

4. LS award

Is it possible that the second ribbon bar has also a fifth award? Something like the ribbon EK II has? The second one is longer and this white-black part is a little bit longer as well. Maybe bad explanation but I dont know much about ribbon bars.

Anyway I like them!

Thanks for looking,

Noor

Hallo Noor,

the medal bar to my eye is for just 4 medals,

I think that each ribbon is represented by two pieces of ribbon:

2 X Prussian EK 1914 Ribbon,

2 X W?rttemberg Military Merit Medal Ribbon,

2 X Hindenberg Cross of Honour for Combatants Ribbon,

2 X W?rttemberg Military Service Medal (9 years) Ribbon.

With time, (and this bar can be dated to circa 1934 onwards by the Hindenberg,)

the ribbons have moved slightly.

Thanks Kev!

I was just confused because of the different size of them.

Is it right that this type of wrapping is common to the W?rttemberg kingdom?

[Deruelle]

Hi Noor,

It is true that you can find this South style for Bavarian and Wurttemberg ribbon bar. Here I post some ribbon bars from Bavaria.

South German mostly.There was a small but noticeable East Prussian and occasional naval fashion for these, but overwhelming most common for Baden, Bavaria, and W?rttemberg. After the Anschluss, some Austrians also liked it. Sometimes found in the Thuringian Duchies and odd ones as far east as Saxony.

I'd like the see a Saxon or Thuringian bar in the style. So far I haven't seen one.

[Noor]

Thanks guys for this information

Every day I get some interesting facts from here!

[Deruelle]

Hi Charles,

Here is one ribbon bar with Th?ringian ribbons in south style

Oddly enough, the Baltic veteran above's bar was made by Godet in Berlin.
