Picked up a small ribbon bar collection. I thought the single place, 1/2 width EKII was interesting

Well the look ok not Ohio parts bar for sure.
A few have some ribbons out of 'official' but nothing that would concern me. -
Ohio parts bar?Comment

He is refering to the nickname given to certain reproduction ribbon bars made up by an Ohio dealer. For some reason, the name of that Ohio dealer is never mentioned, & his name is not attributed to these bars, they are simply called "Ohio parts bars".Comment

Thanks gents. I'll probably be posting some for sale or trade in the future. Were multi-place full size ribbons common? Seems you usually find bars with 2 or more half sizedComment

I'm not very savvy on ribbon bars. Am I correct that the top one here is Imperial era and the bottom two post-38 Austrian?
Can anyone help me ID a couple?
Top Bar: Imperial EKII...Hindenburg Cross...?????...?????...?????
Center Bar: Austrian Medal of Valor x3...Karl Troop Cross...Austrian War Service Medal...Wurtenburg Service Cross...?????
Bottom Bar: Austrian Medal of Valor x3...Karl Troop Cross...?????...Wurttenburg Service Cross...Hungarian War Service
Sorry if the names are off, I'm using a wartime US reference and I know some badges in it have names other than those now recognizedComment

So, if those above bars are post 1938 and one has a ribbon for 1913, I can assume that the man who wore it was a rather old salt, correct?
A couple more ID's needed. What are the last ribbon on each of these two bars? The last one on the bottom bar is a Red Cross medal, correct?Comment
