4-place ribbon bar; EK2 spange etc

[luftkrieg]

Here is another ribbon bar to show you from my collection. This ribbon bar is made using the 25mm wide ribbons.
So remember tunic collectors- 10 award loops etc does not mean there was once a 10-place ribbon bar on there; those award loops could have actually been covered with a small combination of awards using these wider ribbons!


-Preußen Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse 1914 mit der Wiederholungsspange
-Ehrenkreuz des Weltkrieges für Frontkämpfer
-Dienstauszeichnung der Wehrmacht 4 Jahre - Heer/Kriegsmarine
-Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938


Interesting that the eagle device is one that would normally be found on a medal bar.

Kind regards

Pierce, very nice first type spange!

Nice bar Pierce!

And I agree regarding the loops. And it is not uncommon to find the larger eagle devices on these types of wider ribbon bars, not textbook but IMO fully acceptable.

Thanks for sharing, Pierce! This is a great point, and exactly what I assumed when I first started collecting uniforms.

I have since been duly corrected.
