Although these tab-back bars can be "Frankensteined" together, there is usually some evidence of it on the back.

Yours looks good to me though.

From the pics it looks textbook and in a top condition. But it will not hurt to try have it under a blacklight just to see what happens. But thinks its all right

Reverse side is more then worn and ribbons look like mint.. hm ?

You are right... it is a little weird when thinking about it.. but could be the metal have aged, and the ribbon not soo much... could be... but I can understand your concern.

I wonder if the ribbons will clove under the uv/blacklight?

nothing reacted under UV test doet it mean it's more like original?

Well thats a good sign. But you can not base it only on a uv test.

The metal can have reacted different than the ribbon, and aged.... it is very possible... I think worth case...It could have been restored... early postwar... but how knows... be happy with the item... its textbook, maybe we just speculate too much

Nothing for my collection. I think ribbon bar is ok, but not ribbons. So as our mate said, it was probably restored

[edison10728]

I think is a original~

There's nothing to really stress out about on this bar, IMHO. If it were some super rare and unusual combination that someone was trying to sell for top dollar - maybe it would warrant breaking out the microscope.
