    Nice pieces. Has the award bar got any markings on the back?

    None that I can see without taking the bar off.  The bar is directly sewn on the ribbon and the thread is pretty fragile.  Don't want to twist the bar too much and snap the thread.

     

    Sorry....I'm curious also.

     

    Best,

    Hey Graham, same mark as some of the bars on my other bared medals I have.  

     

    I know that Zimbler was the maker, but I've heard that others also made them.  Can you shed any light on this for my edification?

     

    Thanks

    Thanks Graham.  I do know the blog that you noted.  Some great info in those 16 or so pages!

     

    Which leads me to wonder about that bar.  Fake, private purchase or a maker outside Vienna?

     

    The bars age and thread seem to have the same consistency as the ribbon.

     

    Your thoughts please!

     

    Stay well

    Greg,

    Hard to tell whether the bar is fake or not from the pictures, looks ok to me at first glance.

     

    The bar should be approximately 50mm in length(top edge) and 8mm wide.

     

    Regards,

    Graham

    Hey Graham, the length is correct, but the width is 5mm.

     

    Just don't know what to think on this one.

     

    Oh well, I'm not going to toss it in the trash!

     

    Stay well
