Prague Castle ribbon bar

[Teebs]

So yesterday I brought my first WW2 militaria piece which was some SS Sturmmann collar tabs which turned out to be fakes after some helpful responses from a post I put up in the SS uniform insignia section of the forums.

I managed to get my money back and today brought a Prague Castle bar (from a different dealer!) from the 1st october medal, praying this is real to start my collection off, so any help on determining it would be great it's about 2.9CM in length and 1cm in width with a makers mark on the rear.

I am no expert on these but it looks good to me. Funny enough i ate dinner last night near the castle.

Looks good. The pins are different to my marked Junker and unmarked pieces but that may just be a Deumer (L/11) feature.

I agree with Ian: there are many variations of Prager bars and this one looks OK even if most have short triangular clips like Ian's bar. I have never seen the back set up of a Deumer bar before but the maker mark looks OK (like on EKs and EK spanges by Deumer) so I would have no problem with that one in my collection but wait for more knowledgeable opinions to be sure.

Perfectly fine Deumer bar.
