Ribbon Bar Opinions Please

[Scott C.]

Can I get an opinion or two on this ribbon bar? Do the devices and ribbon line-up look "right"? (the Olde F.A. ribbon has a "Vor Dem Feinde" bar) How about the blue backing? These are the only pictures I can get (I had to crop them a bit over a black background).

Thanks!

Mecklenburg Ribbon should not have swords.
SWA Service, plus WW1 but No Long Service?
Hungarian WW1 Commemorative Medal but no Honor Cross?
I think not........

Ps:

Be careful as Manion's sells a substantial number of these fake parts bars every auction.

Ribbon Bar Comments

Hi Scott,
one thing that jumped out at me was the crossed swords device on the Mecklenburg-Schwerin/Strelitz ribbon. To the best of my knowledge, neither of the two Mechlenburg states feature decorations that have swords and that use that ribbon. The possible expection might be the Griffin Order variation to the Commander's Cross with Oak leaves and Swords, which may not even exist it is so arcane, and may in fact be a fantasy piece. Even if it existed, it uses a diifferent ribbon. Other than that, I think it is a very interesting ribbon bar (possibly to a pilot?)

Is that a snipped brass catch?

Thanks everyone - I had my doubts, but wanted to be sure.
