Spanish Blue Division soldier's medal bar. German type. Opinions?

[Gernika81]

Hi. I was offered this nice medal bar that belonged, supposedly to a Blue Division member. I know that spanish soldiers who were awarded german medals, wore them in many cases with spanish type medal bars, mixed with their spanish awards. But this one is the german configuration parade mount, and i know that some spaniards who were in the rearguard or in hospitals in Riga or other hospitals where they were treated from their injuries, got them done in Germany. I know all three awards are 100% original, and ribbons seem to be original too, but i have the doubt if this is an after war put together. I mean, medals are somewhat worn, and a bit oxidized (Ek2 and less the frozen meat medal), but if you see the ribbons, they don't have stains. Isn't it strange? Rusted or stained medals leave spots on ribbon right? And ribbons look too glossy, right?
Back seems nice, but i would like you to tell me your opinion on this medal bar. Do you think it's period done? The point that worries me most is the glossy looking of ribbons.

Hello,

As you say, it looks like original medals and ribbons. But, IMO, this medal bar is a postwar put-together. Too many red flags on this one i.e., a medal only awarded to Spaniards on a German-style medal bar, lack of ribbon rosettes, the pin on the back with its rough, clipped end (very reminiscent of fake medal bars), and the overall construction of the bar itself all indicate to me that this is not a legitimate assembly of the Third Reich Period.

Best regards,
Tom

Tom is one of the best in this field, and I agree with him this medal bar has really too many red flags. Overall construction let me think only about a post war put-togheter piece.

Both bars pictured look to be the work of the Austrian Faker.

Another example of a similarly-constructed postwar parts bar. Original medals, but completely fake mounting hardware identical to that of the bar that started this discussion.

Thanks for your opinions! I knew there was something wrong with that medal bar. Another friend of mine told me something similar and now I am totally sure it's a post-war put together. Blue Division items are always faked, and sellers try to invent new craps to inflate prices.
