I had posted this some time ago but did not get many responses, so I thought I would try again. Looking for some input as to whether the bar meets war time standards.
This medal bar has the Cross of Honor without Swords and the 10 Year Party Long Service.
The NSDAP medal is a lightweight bronzed aluminum version and the ribbon ring is maker marked with what I think is a 15, but I will have to confirm the number.
I read in Detlev's book that the lighter versions were issued to women, and seeing as the COH is without swords could be possible a woman owned this?
Anyway, all comments on the bar are appreciated and thanks in advance.

My only suggestion is that if you can carefully tuck the suspension ring of the NSDAP Long Service back under the ribbon, where it belongs, the bar will look nicer. (It should look exactly the way the Cross of Honor looks.) You can see some of the brown-colored, heavy thread that once secured the NSDAP Long Service across the suspension eyelet. Originally, that NSDAP Long Service was mounted a bit higher on the bar, where its bottom cross arm would be inline with the bottom cross arm of the Cross of Honor.
