Extremely nice...

An enviable display, djn! Thanks for showing it.

What is the explanation for the MVK hanging from what appears to be a damenschleife, please? Presumably, they were never issued to females so what is its significance?

[Christian1962]

It´s one of the first issues. They did not have a triangular ribbon during the first years.

I’m sorry, it should be on longer ribbon, but unfortunately I do not have it. 

it should look like that:

Thanks for the explanation, djn.

Thank you all for your comments!!!

And I have one request... I'm looking for the original ribbon for MVK first model, can anyone help me?

[Elmar Lang]

Hello Dejan,

here too, my compliments for the fine pieces and their display.

I regret to say that I don't have any length of original 1849-50 MVK ribbon, besides that mounted on my own pieces...

All the best,
