Iron Cross ribbons

[Peter Wiking]

could you guys post photos/scanns of your Iron Cross RIBBON?
I know its a strange request but post the ones you know is original WW2.
Post narrow ones, normal ones, orange ones, different width in the color bands and so on.
There are ribbons that are orange instead of red ?

Here are 3 types from my collection.

Thanks alot for the help.

Yes there is a run of early war ribbons that have an orange tinge to them. <O></O>

As to the tooth edge and the straight edge this is simply how they have been cut, the tooth edge were cut on tailors or crinkle cut scissors. The weaving of the ribbons appears to be identical. <O</O

[Dave Kane]

Good point Dez! The 'tooth' or serrated edge is merely a cloth or ribbon maker's attempt to stop the fraying at the ends....Look at the straight edge and the threads peeling of.
