filfoster Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 Should 6 and 9 be switched, the Bavarian campaign medal preceding the Prussian one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filfoster Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 Evidently not, per the precedence posted on the wehmacht-awards forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filfoster Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 OK, here's my reproduction. It's a hot mess - too many gongs on a bar that's as wide as the real one, by my calculations, but I lack the artifice of Leopold's tailor. Anyway, the 1870 ribbon/bars obscure the ribbons for the Iron Cross 2nd, Bavarian 1866 cross and the Mecklenburg-Schwerin 1870 cross. There's probably another Turkish medal I missed as well but this is as close as I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1812 Overture Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Oh my God! Sir, how did you do it, I admire it. I am really amazed. In China, there is a special assembly bar. The manual cost is 40 RMB. For example, a 5R bar is 5X40=200 RMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filfoster Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Only the Austrian and the Bavarian 1866 medals are real. The others are all available on ebay or from German vendors online. The frame is sheet brass, with bent wire 'pin' and soldered hinge and clasp. That is then covered with wool and the gongs are sewn on at the proper spacing. The ribbon is then sewn on and then a backing of wool is sewn to the reverse. It works, most of the time.
