    Found a named ribbon bar (Marine-Stabsarzt Dr. Richard Kosswig), looking for further info on him.


    Recommended Posts

    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?

    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.

    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!!
