jeeplover Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted October 21, 2014 I have fixed it for now. pulled the wire out filled the star with super glue let dry and put them back in. we will see how long it holds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakchos215 Posted October 21, 2014 Share #3 Posted October 21, 2014 I super glue all my stars and oak leaf clusters on my personal ribbons. If done right it makes for a cleaner look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeplover Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted October 21, 2014 well if the glue don't hold on the little wires then gluing them to the ribbon bar its self is the next option. that is if I can not find replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B. Posted October 21, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 21, 2014 The stars are pretty easy to find. You can find them on eBay, on line at Medals of America, Saunders Insignia, any uniform/gear supplier such as Marlow White, Brigade Quartermaster, US Cavalry,etc. (not sure if those last two are still in business - it's been a while since I used them.) My local surplus store sells ribbons, stars, etc. too. Worst case scenario, send me a PM and I can probably scrounge up two or three for you. Now, if you're looking for WWII-era stars, that's a different ball game. I'm not aware of any significant differences, but I am not an expert on ribbons, medals, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
