Medalbar opinions

[Brien]

Hello folks,

What is the general consenses on this medalbar? Real or memorex?

[Peter Wiking]

Not original in my opinion. Appears random and quickly put together.

Can we see the reverse?

Brien,
It's not one that I would want in my collection.

Dear Brien,

The order of precedence is proper and there is nothing that stands out to make me think the medals themselves are fake. The mounting seems to be a tabbed medal bar with the medals hung off hooks on the reverse -- if you are not familiar with this type of construction, it is where each single ribbon is mounted on a metal plate which in turn is then attached to a large mounting bar utilizing 2 vertical tabs (similar to what one sees in ribon bars) the medals are then hung on hook on the rear of the large bar so the whole piece can be used as a medal bar or (when without the medals hung) just a ribbon bar.

Although tabbed bars can show some crookedness in mounting this bar exhibits a lot more than I would be comfortable with. The quality of mounting is just not what I have in my collection or what I have seen. At best a poorly constructed bar or one that has seen some abuse.

As Gary said, the type of mounting is possible, the medals look OK, but overall this one dosen't leave me with a good feeling. Especially seeing as this bar is all TR & trying to represent a good loyal party member to boot. Again, not a good feeling, not a good feeling at all.
