Robert Noss Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 What do You think about this ribbon bar and the case:....
Robert Noss Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 ....It was a fleamarket find last weekend and cheap, but I am a bit suspicious.Is that the real thing ?Is the case belonging to the bar ?The little space in the case fits perfect with the bar, but ... such a big case for such a small bar ?Any opinions welcome.Robert
Paul C Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 The case looks to modern to me. I have never seen a single ribbon in a case. I think the case is for a modern single medal on a ribbon with the pin attachment going in the recess. Just my opinion.
Wild Card Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Hi Robert Noss,I am afraid that I have to agree with Paul?s position that the case is an ?add on? ; it just seems a bit much for a single post war single ribbon bar. But either way, what the heck, you have gotten a nice ribbon bar with a nice Iron Cross device on it along with a nice (right or wrong) case - cheap . Your weekend was a lot better than mine.Best wishes,Wild Card Edited June 12, 2006 by Wild Card
Gerd Becker Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I wouldn?t disqualify the possibility that this was done by a proud veteran himself to protect it. In any case (no pun intented) i would leave them together, even if the case does not belong to it. Just my 2 Euro Cents...Gerd
