    Medal Bar Fake or Real???

    http://web.iwebcenters.com/grenadier...tem118625.ctlg

    Is this ribbon bar real? It seems to have the snipped brass retainer look. What are other's thoughts?

    I agree. Moreover: An 8-place all TR ribbon bar?? KVK with swords AND KV Medal (which should BTW be behind the east medal)? Not completely impossible, I think, but highly improbable.

      The reverse of this one doesn't really give me that much of a warm and fuzzy feeling.

      The War Merit Medal was instituted in the summer of 1940, and strictly a civilian award. Given that there's nothing WWI on here to suggest reactivation, how did this 1940 civilian earn a long service ribbon that wouldn't have been awarded after 1940?

                Definitely a "to good to be true" bar & has "Ohio" written all over it.
