3 Medal Bar question

[brian c]

Hi guys,
I just picked this one up recently off of e-stand. This is my first medal bar and I am pleased with it. I was wondering if this type of mount is common and if this style has a name. I see more mounts that position the medal on top of the ribbon, with the ribbon having a rosette appearence. Would the recipient of the bar request this style or was it just how the maker produces them.
Thanks in advance, Brian

nice one!
its called south german or bavarian style.
normally the owner sayed how he wants the medalbar - but i think the not really artistic tailers made them in the way they could (so it depends on the maker of the bar).
