Parade Medal Bar- Deconstructing and using UV

[Rommel1933]

Hello all.. figured I would share this deconstruction project I started. Some of you might remember me posting the original medal bar on here. It was felt that one of the ribbons, the pattern of overlay and time frame was medals was incorrect. All the medals and ribbons appear to be authentic.

I will show the original bar, some deconstruction then my UV light test.
I just got my UV light so any comments on my application would be appreciated.

Thank you, Scott

Here is the start of deconstruction

Now I apply the UV light test.. it appears none of the ribbons glow but the white thread is brilliant...

I assume this is a fake assembly with real medals..
