SovPha Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Currently researching all three medal bars. I wish you all a great weekend .
Eric Gaumann Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 For some reason I'm not seeing any images.
SovPha Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, I am really sorry. I've uploaded the pics from MeWe. I will post them again. Edited February 28, 2020 by SovPha
Eric Gaumann Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 That first bar is so very basic; CSM, Cascasus, and VoG. But the CSM is numbered, and of course the upgraded ribbon/suspension that is rarely seen in such pristine condition... I've had my chance at the suspension in the past and I regret no buying them when they had no added interest. The second bar.... such lovely, dark patina on those two silver medals. That VoG ribbon, it looks just a very tiny bit off. I don't doubt it much, though.
Eric Gaumann Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 The third bar: 1940s awards on 1960s+ hardware. The second BM ring re-soldering I'm not concerned about. Typical post-war repair, IMO. The wrong, re-ribboning is not a deal-breaker, I've seen it done in the DDR all the time but in the USSR, not so much. But.... IMO this is a legit 1950s/60s/70s bar. Probably.

Thank you for the feedback. I know many vets who mounted their awards on 1960's hardware. This was very common practice. Andrej Edited March 1, 2020 by SovPha
Paul R Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 You should get that double bravery bar researched. Those are great.
