gap Posted August 31, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2013 I believe this is a European Theater ribbon bar issued for U.S. Navy (1/2 inch width). Can anyone help with time period? Backing appears to be plastic, never saw one like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfman Posted August 31, 2013 Share #6 Posted August 31, 2013 Looks like a brit made ribbon too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAF_Collection Posted September 1, 2013 Share #7 Posted September 1, 2013 I agree with Wolfman, it's probably British made, in which case it's not necessarily a Navy ribbon despite the size as some Brit made Army/AAF ribbons are oversized.

gap Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks guys. Any idea what the insert is made of? It's non-magnetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAF_Collection Posted September 1, 2013 Share #9 Posted September 1, 2013 It looks like a piece of stiff felt, or perhaps card? not uncommon with Brit made ribbon bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gap Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted September 1, 2013 I don't think so, it is much harder and denser than felt or cardboard. Seems like a plastic/bakelite material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
