7-place Ribbonbar with mistakes

Hi guys!

Any comments welcome.

Kind regards, Peter

The Iron Cross and Honour Cross are one ribbon. Hence why the war merit cross would be knocked out of position.

The Kyffhauser, also seems to come before the War Merit cross. The recipient may have had less value for his Third Reich awards. Or his out fitter got the ribbons the wrong way round, as they are very similar. But the black stripe on the Kyffhauser is just that little bit wider.

Hi Alan!

Yes, You are absolutely right! I only wanted to show this ribbon bar, because it's 100% original and absolutely not as it should be per regulations.

Thanks for looking and kind regards,

Peter

Thanks for showing! I thought the back looked good, but I was totally confused about the front. Thanks for pointing out the width of the black stripe Alan, it's subtle enough to miss until you know what to look for. What's the one with the crown?
Regards,
Steve

The Kyffhäuser shouldn't be there to begin with - not on the same bar as a Hindenburg. The KVK hopped around on ribbon bars from time to time, with the wearer's perception of it's relative worth apparently overriding the formal regulations.

What's the one with the crown?

Perhaps the wearer's way of indicating that it's a Prussian Long Service? That wasn't a regulation way of doing things, but that apparently wasn't much of a concern for the bar's owner to begin with.

That's exactly what he wanted!

It's a nice original and unusual ribbon bar. Some people saw the merit of wearing all their awards, whether against regs or not.

Do you have any history on the ribbon bar?
