[paddywhack]

i was looking at a quiet nice lufty ribbion bar on the estand but a few things have me confused!! first off the last 2 ribbions! the 3rd last one looks like a long service ribbion but yet theres one 2nd in line! also the 3rd last one looks like an austrian commerative(?) ribbion!! also the level of fading seems to be different on a few of the ribbion!!!am i right to be worryed!! other wise it looks like a nice bar to a condor legion vet!!!! what do you guys think!!!!!

You're right to be paranoid here. That is a tab back bar that has been messed with. #6 is the Austrian Commem for WW1, yet he has no WW1 service. Also, the uneven fading (#2 and #5 are both blue ribbons) shouts fake.

Very nice looking set

The only question mark for me is the ribbon for the Austrian Comm. medal. Could that be attached on a ribbon bar without any other WW1 awards? I'm eager to know...

The blue ribbon could be RAD service (perhaps), later transferred to LW or the other way around. The colors are not equal but that doesn't bother me as much as the presence of the lone Austrian Comm. ribbon...

Imho, not exactly the kind of bar I am looking for...

Cheers,

why is there no hindinburg cross! why have other ribbions but the austrian one!! to me sounds messed with!!!

I had three buyers for the bar and all three canceled probably because of this thread, could someone tell me for sure either this is good or not good? I would find it really odd if there would have been messed with

Sorry, I know this is bad news. But it is absolutely impossible to have an Austrian WW1 Commemorative Medal (#6) and no other WW1 awards. At least a Hindenburg MUST be there.
There are other indicators of messed-with bar (e.g. the uneven fading of #2 and #5), but this is the most important (and decisive) one.

hi giel! i am sorry for having the sales canceled but ifor me there are just to many things that dont make sense! at the very least the ribbions have been replaced at some point so its not sadly unmessed with!
