Hello Gents,

Picked up this lot of ribbons for the princely sum of $21 NZD!

needed some to complete a grouping that was missing 2 ribbons, the medal group is in the second pic...just neede a War medal ribbon and a NZ service medal ribbon...which this lot had plenty of!

otherwise i would have had to go to my local stamp shop in CHCH and pay $5 per ribbon!

There are some modern medal ribbons there...lots of UN and NZ medal ribbons

Had some fun trying to identify them!!

If there is a particular ribbon anyone needs just let me know...and its yours!

Regards

Paul

That's an awfully nice offer. I wouldn't mind a decent length of NZ Prisons LSM and some of that NZ L&ES. It's a bugger to find over here in Blighty!

Hi Tony,

Sure..if i have it, the Prison ribbon...what does it look like?

As for the LSGC...Hmm, the longest length i have is 90mm long, i guess i could send over 2 lengths to make a decent length

Have enclosed a pic, the first one is the NZ LSGC

the second is the Territorial services decoration

What are the other two??

Anyone know?

Regards

Paul

What you've illustrated are the following: Army/Military LS&GC, Territorial Force/Efficiency Medal, NZ Long & Efficient Service and Territorial Force War Medal.

What I'm after is what's ringed in the below attachment.

Hi Tony,

Aaaah! i see....

the long service one is an early one isn't it..pre ww1? Hmmm, i need a small piece for my ribbon ID charts...and dont really want to cut this up, as then it would be too short for a medal...have you a short piece of this ribbon to trade?

the other greenish one ...well its the NZ Afghanistan Primary operational service medal ribbon...according to this site here...

heres the direct link... http://medals.nzdf.mil.nz/category/c/c8a.html

so the yellow one with the green stripes is a WW1 Territorial force medal?

thanks for that info...good for my ribbon ID database....which is getting bigger and bigger daily!

I have attached a pic of another Ribbon i have...

Maybe a Gent here, has the medal for it? as this is the complete Neck ribbon for the OBE Militay with fastenings and is in great shape! will swap this for Imperial goodies...

Regards

Paul

Oops, I'd mis-ID'd the prisons gong, and yes it's the Afghan GSM ribbon. Yes, the NZ L&ESM became obsolete upon the introduction of the Efficiency Medal New Zealand, and I'm OK for ribbon - so no cutting it up. There was an entire roll of this (and a roll of NZTS) ribbon up for auction on a Kiwi version of eBay a couple of weeks ago. So near, yet so far.

The first type (Military Div.) CBE neck ribbon is hard to find. All in all, a good hoard.

hi Tony,

so you have a small piece of the ribbon?

Yes i know the ribbons on TradMe you mention, its back on a 1M roll for $15

I can buy this and the roll of Territorial ribbon for you if you want it

i asked the seller if they were of original stock...he said they were modern copy ribbon from a specialist ribbon maker in the UK

My ribbon is original, so if you want it...its yours.

Now i am gonna look for a Territorial medal for the ribbon, the yellow striped one....

So the CBE, is it? not OBE? militay ribbon is hard to find...what shall i say its worth?

I wanna swap for Imperial goodies or perhaps on a Territorial medal....

Cheers

Paul

Yep, I've just had a look. They're both back on: NZ$30 for the two - which equates to about ?10, or ?5 per roll which is a bargain - especially when a notable London dealer stings me for ?3 for a 6" strip! What would shipping costs be I wonder? Unlike some collectors, I'm not at all fussed by modern weaves, just finding the correct ribbon for these (to many) obscure colonial & dominion issues is bad enough. I did contact Toye's (the manufacturer who more than likely produced the ribbons for sale) a while back, but they had none in stock - unsurprising I suppose, considering there would be little requirement for the UK market.

Anyhow, yes, I do have some ribbon for the L&ESM - but like I said, you can never have enough of colonial/dominion issue ribbon. The CBE is a neck badge - hence the neck ribbon, whereas the OBE/MBEs are breast badges. How much? Depends on who's looking for some, but original weave is difficult to find, so...? As for the TFWM - they're around, it's just a case of keeping ones' eyes peeled, but they're not cheap - especially compared to other Great war issues.

Hi Tony,

have bought the two rolls.

Will suss out the shipping for you and let you know the cost.

You are in the UK?

I'll just snip off a small piece of the Long and efficient service medal ribbon ( about 40mm for my medal reference charts) and send over the piece of original ribbon i have here for you.

If you know of anyone who may need the CBE neck ribbon just send them my way will ya...

How much do the TFWM go for?

Cheers

Paul

[Tony Farrell]

Paul, there's no need to cut up any original ribbon, I've already got a very small amount left in my 'bank', so you keep hold of it. Yes, I'm in the UK. TFWMs go for around the ?80-100 mark.

[notned]

Tony, i meant that i would snip a bit of the roll the 1 meter roll not the original piece...heaven forbid!

Cheers

Paul
