Here's the PLM closeup. -
The PLM. I expected the closeup to show more taper but he had quite a few ribbons leftover and changed them almost weekly. It's possible this early ribbon wasn't quite so tapered. Mutti remembers this however as the mini-PLM that he wore on his linen suits.Last edited by Brian S; 05-23-2004, 01:21 PM.Comment

My mother has one without the PLM just the oak and ribbon on the exact same device but the oak attached to the button.Last edited by Brian S; 05-23-2004, 01:21 PM.Comment

thanks - and a really nice one!
why is the enmaile on the back side better than on the front - normally the back has more damages!

It's been in wrap for over 50 years, 1949. That's the way it was wrapped up. But I'd guess having it exposed to the front of a jacket which is taken off and hung up over and over could result in a few dings. He was also an extremely active man. He was steeple chasing as late as 1939. I doubt he wore it for that but certainly on his jacket every time he took one of his horses out for a walk. But, the back sure is minty. Luckily, his full size PLM did not get any abuse.Comment
