landsknechte Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I was fortunate enough to have stumbled across a named ribbon bar that used to be part of Rick Lundstrom's collection. As soon as I double checked the provenance, I scooped it up. However, with my horrible German, I haven't really been able to dig up anything on the original owner beyond the write-up in the 2016 auction catalog. I haven't been able to find any discussion of the owner or the bar here or on WAF back in the day. Anyone have any further info on Dr. Kosswig perchance?

Stogieman Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Nice Grab! I remember that little bar sitting in the case I gave Rick in his office. Damn! I miss him and our conversations. He was a magician and let’s not forget the man who taught him, George Seymour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landsknechte Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 I'm a sucker for named bar in general, but the personal connection was a huge selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I have one matching ribbon bar and medal bar that belonged to Rick. Sometime if we meet up at a show I’ll tell you about how we reunited a broken set. It’s a great story!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
