25 year service medal with ribbon and mothers cross - all OK?

[Kev G]

Hi folks,

can you tell me if everything is OK with these two items or not?

Thanks in advance!

the medals look fine to me, the pin on the ribbon on the 25yr one is a bit strange to me and i have not seen before so maybe added later but the medals look OK.

Hi Kev,

The Gold Mother Cross and ribbon look fine. As far as the 25-Year Faithful Service Decoration is concerned, the medal itself looks good but I don't like the ribbon and the pin-back is wrong too. That is a slot brooch device which was used on U.S. medals from about 1920 until 1963.

Best regards,
Tom

Tom and Doug,

thank you very much - I appreciate your input!

... so I guess I either need to look for a matching ribbon or simply get a new rig for my display ... (http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=524384) ... everything else was confirmed to be 100% period items, so this must leave

Thanks again!
