Excellent question. Is this signed by Forstner?

Very nice veteran's piece. One I have not seen before! You'll be making my buddy Mike from California drool over this one!!

[Deruelle]

I have got one ribbon bar and a medal bar (without medals flame )of an NCO from Baden.Tell me what do you think about these bars.

Regards

Christophe

That is a really nice Baden Veteran badge. Would love to have one in my collection! I would think that Ralph would like it as well if he don't have one already. I have a couple Baden Veteran items in route and will post once I get them. Nice! Mike

Christophe.. it looks like the medals were never even mounted on the bar! Are there hooks tucked underneath the wrapped ribbons? Should be easy enough to get originals to restore it. The only real question would be what went on the Austrian "war" ribbon?? Any evidence of medals having been sewn-in once upon a time?

[Deruelle]

You are right Rick. The hooks are missing. Do you think it is possible to restore it without the hooks ?

A wonderfull grouping for sure! Thanks for sharing Christophe.

Hi Christophe.. it looks like it would be easy enough to simply slip replacements onto the bar. Just tuck them into the folds in the center. if you are handy, you might even be able to sew them in. I do not see any harm in this type of retoration/repair as long as original pieces are used.
