Rakkasan187 Posted March 23, 2019 Share #12 Posted March 23, 2019 I have one of those ribbons as well on a WW1 ribbon bar, or at least I believe it is WW1 bar based on the unapproved Inter-Allied Victory ribbon that is on the bar.. I am still searching Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share #13 Posted March 23, 2019 Find anything out? Just found one more ID and this one ID'ed previously I have a feeling that some pre-WWII Guard ribbons can be pretty obscure, what with each state coming up with its own designs.

Bob Hudson Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share #14 Posted March 23, 2019 A couple more match up to the Oklahoma National Guard, but I imagine some other states could used the same style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted March 24, 2019 Share #15 Posted March 24, 2019 I have seen the green one (or more correctly, a green one since I suspect you are correct about them having many users) as a Wolf-Brown plastic coated type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted March 24, 2019 Share #16 Posted March 24, 2019 I would assume that the other 2 on the bar are also OK. Interesting lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
