    British Ribbon Bars: 1/8th inch a regulation?


    Recommended Posts

    I have the following British medals. Some of you might have read about the wrong order the ribbon bar of numbers 1 through 6 was sent to me. I am now thinking of buying loose ribbon bars for the rest and putting them on a 15 ribbon bar, thus 3 ribbons per bar. The question is: is the 1/8th inch distance between rows a British regulation or could I go for flush spacing?

     Victoria Cross
     George Cross
     Distinguished Service Order
     Member of the British Empire
     Distinguished Service Cross
     Military Cross 
     The 1939-1945 Star
     Atlantic Star
     Arctic Star
     Air Crew Europe Star
     Africa Star
     Pacific Star
     Burma Star
     Italy Star
     France and Germany Star

    I realize that I would be circumventing the 4 ribbons per row ''rule/regulation'' but to my eyes 5 full rows of 3 ribbons each are much more appealing. Any ideas on this?
