Berlinerbummel Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 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?

ccj Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Wrong ribbon for Hohenzollern, but could be a 'Bastelarbeit' from the maker, but this doesn't explain the Austrian ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I think it’s close to the princely Hohenzollern but the black stripes appear thick Do you have more photos of the tunic? Edited January 12, 2020 by ccj Error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagleorder Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Looks like the Hohenzollern ribbon is the full-size version folded on itself over the middle black stripe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlinerbummel Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
