    A friend of mine has been offered (for sale) a general officer tunic which includes the pictured sew-on ribbon bar.  It includes an unusual ribbon.  I have never seen such a ribbon.  It looks like two tiny EKII ribbons mounted side-by-side! May I have your opinion on this?

    It’s a princely Hohenzollern order but after reading your statement I now keep seeing two little EK ribbons

    I don’t think the last ribbon for the Karl Troop Cross makes since to me because I would think he was a German officer, not Austrian, during ww1. Do you have a name to the tunic?

    Do you have more photos of the tunic?

    If the ribbon is folded, it is folded on the other side.  There is no "crease" on the front.  I have never seen a ribbon like this.

    My buddy decided not to purchase.

    They made popular combinations like EKII and Honor Cross and EKII (39) and KVKII in a single weave.  Maybe they made the EKII (14) and the "war ribbon" in a single weave and some guy used that in this ribbon bar - just a thought.  There is no break in the center of that wierd ribbon.
