    While the design is quite different on the pendant for Post War medals, I'd be careful classifying all "wide" ribbons as post war.

    The below example was picked up by my uncle in Italy in 1944. He then got transferred to Europe in late 44 before ending the war just inside Germany.

    It has an unusual wide ribbon, but would not have received this post war ....

      Hello Darrel,

      very nice medal in kriegsmetall rare to find interesting
      notice about your ribbon the size? In the Brambilla's book if you
      see the scan, the medal postwar (without fascio and svastika)
      have the wide ribbon.
      cheers, Raffaello
      "six italians, dressed in rather unusual diving suits and equipped with materials of laughably little cost have swung the military balance of power in the Mediterranean in favour of the Axis".

          Whoever assembled the medal bar used a narrow piece of the correct ribbon to hang the Italian medal from and it looks really sharp. This medal has the typical Italian bar across the top instead of a ring. The mounting looks very professional.
          I've seen this medal hung by string on other bars. Ammersee

            Hi all,

            The bar came in today. It looks good although a little aged. There is no glow in black light. The red ribbon is discolored to orange. The bird looks gold but actually the silver has faded and the brass is visible.

            A nice bar that fits in my bar collection.

            Willem
