hi Ron.
i was seeking for the the bars with "just" the civil service cross on them, but this made my day!!
the backside/pin system on the 25 and 40 year ribbon bars i have are just like yours, but the pin system on the back of the one i saw at Stewarts militaria is different.
so i was just wondering if the ones i got are fake, but now i know that they are NOT!!!!!!!!!!
i appreciate this, sir.
thank you : )

Or you can use a photo host as tinypic.com

There is much more things to look at then the pin system when you are authenticating a ribbon bar.
So if you want to be sure your bars are good you need to show them
