Hallo Gentlemen
Photographic* or documentry evidence** is produced then it remains in the fantasy world, hearsay is not conclusive evidence. * this means a period picture taken during the time of WW2 and not the seller's picture of a bar being shown for auction. ** I have asked for information regarding the Official Military Regulations and the wearing of Foreign Decorations by the Wehrmacht in WW2. As soon as I get a reply I will post the relevant information here. Kevin in Deva. |

It appears that the German made bars had rounded blank ends. These were then puntured to produce a hole for sewing onto the ribbon. Romanian bars had tabs that folded over and behind the ribbon for attachment. |

If the medals below are authentic, the Romanian clasps also had rounded blank ends which were supposed to be folded behind the ribbon. It was only the width of the 'useful' region of the clasp that was different.   Originally posted by Dénes |

photographic evidence:
The man on the right has a bar on his Crusade medal at the top-directly below his ribbons. I can't make out the bar's letters, even under extreme magnification, but I can tell it spans the entire ribbon and seems to bend behind the ribbon, not be sewn on like some of the above examples. -------------------- .

There is a mistake at the Nipru bar, the ribbon is from the Centenary Medal 1939. |

A hand-written Yalta sign attached to an airplane pin? It's interesting, indeed. A Luftwaffe liaison officer perhaps?

It's on Ebay right now. Watching it also as well as another one he has listed. Seem to becoming a little more "found" as time goes by. This post has been edited by RHaught on November 05, 2008 04:54 am |
