The ribbon bar with the wide white stripe is the early (WW1 era) version but the medal is a later version so I would say this is a put together setup. Still some GREAT parts though! But don't feel bad if you break them up into case, medal, ribbon bars.

thanks! what medals would be correct for this case? I was trying to figure out what the writing on the back of the single ribbon bar stood for.

That Ribbon Bar is a French Made Private Purchase.

 

"Bte S.G.D.G." is an abbreviation for a typical phrase concerning products from France. "Bte" is short for "breveté" (="patented") and " S.G.D.G." stands for "Sans Garantie Du Gouvernement" (="without government guarantee")

 

And the DSC is a Reribboned Original Strike Planchet & Ring it appears, with what looks to be a Victory Medal Brooch...
