Schinkel Deumer medal bar

[CMSgt]

Just received this Schinkel Deumer medal bar with 4 year Heer medal, backing is black material. Does the black material signify an SS medal bar? Thanks for the help. Jim

I think the old story about black backing suggesting an SS recipient has been disproven. Nice cross.
