Looks like three medals represented on a single ribbon... I've seen examples of two on one before, but has anyone else ever come across a 3-in-1 combo before?

That is a buttonhole mini ribbon combo normally worn "upside down" by Saxons. Should have 1st the St.Henry, then the FAM and last the EK.It has also another, smaller, wide than the normal 15mm ribbon bar material.
I would be careful; may we see the whole bar?
Best regards

It's not worth your time, quite frankly... It's a parts bar, by all appearances, but having never seen that particular part, it piqued my interest.Originally posted by Daniel Krause

I would not be so quick....
It would be improbable (IMO) that this is a parts bar. May we see the whole thing, front and back?Comment

It doesn't make me happy from what I can see of it either-- a native Saxon "miniaturizing" his home state awards and using something upside down, as a St Henry holder? FULL size Oldenburg, but "improvized" 1935+ reduced size native Saxon?

I'm sorry..... but I disagree!
Rick, this has been seen before on a St. Henry Bar that was in my collection. You are forgetting your own regulations! PRIOR to WW2, the 3 in 1 ribbon was correct and used by Saxons with SHO in first place. AFTER 1935 they flipped the ribbon and used it anyway! I'm sorry, but IMO this is an UGLY, NOT a fake! I still want to see the backside of this bar.....Comment

Ok....
... now seeing 2 in the same lot I become suspicious. But this usage of the ribbon should NOT (IMO) be the first reason to boot this bar. This is a legitimate, albeit ugly, use of this ribbon and has been seen on real bars, used like this!Comment

The Ostfront on the wrong side of the Hindenburg Cross doesn't engender a whole lot of confidence either, IMHO.Originally posted by Rick VersaillesComment

Here's the lot in total:
More than a little bit of "guilt by association", I suppose...

Bad compnay indeed!
Too many of the same ribbons in the same errors! Even the ones that are correct "looking" are dubious in this foul company, and I'd be amazed if any of them were older than last Christmas.
My particular favorite is the full time NSDAP Luftwaffe fireman!
You have been VERY naughty, and I shall have to have my chockie E-rabbit now to calm my tumtums, all aflutter at this butchery.
