Anschluss Ribbon???

[-Ray-]

Hello Fellows:

I hope you don't mind me asking what ribbon this is on the far right please (no black). Also comments on the rest of the bar would be welcomed and deeply appreciated.

It kinda' looks artificially aged and the prague bar to me dos'nt look well detailed, but i'm not sure.

I have a compatiable medal bar to marry up.

hello ray
look good for me, just my opinion! if you have one very rare medalbar with the 3 medals 1eroct/13mars/memell, this feldspange is an jackpot!

Hi Ray

The last ribbon is the Hungarian Merit Order on war ribbon. They don't pop up that often imo.

Best regards

Very very nice and rare ribbon bar Ray!
The last is, as Pierce said, a Hungarian Order of Merit, a Knight's Cross of this order.

Nice bar Ray,

Patrick the 3rd ribbon is the German Italian Africa Campaign Medal (Deutsch Italienische Erinnerungsmedaille - Afrika-Feldzugsmedaille).

As a side note, I believe Himmler was the only one who could get away with wearing all 3 anschluss awards.

Oh there were a few high ranking Generals and high ranking SS that also got away with this. From the top of my head- Keitel, Milch, Wolff, Heydrich, etc.

Kind regards

Please e VERY careful when making comments like this. As it leads to the distortion of historical facts. More evidence is needed on the matter before anyone can say yay or nay on the subject. I have a few paired sets with all 3 Anschluss Medals, none of which are fakes.
