Upside down EK ribbon bar?

[dm5000]

There isnt any legit reason why the EK would come AFTER the Ostmedal, is there?

I assume the Collector's Guild just posted the picture upside down here:

I remember reading somewhere...

(maybe on this site) that in certain instances the Ostmedaille outranked the EK2. I'll look for the source, but I imagine someone will supply the answer before I can find it.

Hi
Agree with you, they seemingly post the pic uposide down. A view from the reverse side would confirm it. The EK ribbon must be located before the ostmedal (EK being an order).

The link won't come up for me.

This site says the Ostmedaille outranked the War Merit Cross 2nd class, not the EK2.

The EK was always first, is it confusting somewhere?

Either I am totally out of touch (wouldn't be the first time), or that is one expensive little ribbon bar.
