RDUNE Posted March 14, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2020 Hello all, I pulled three ribbons out of a bag of junk the other day and I'm not sure about them. I'm pretty sure one is the Air Medal, but the stripes look far more peach colored than orange/gold. The 1/2 inch maroon and gold ribbon looks to be Typhus Commission, correct? I know it's not Wolf Brown, just plastic coated. As for the last one, the blue with white, red, and black I can't figure it out. Something NATO related perhaps? I would greatly appreciate any help on these. Thanks -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle, Yes, Air Medal, both "yellowed" with age, IMOO Bottom ? AH, that would make way more sense. I took it outside for a better look in natural light and the little bit visible in the gap in the metal is indeed white, not yellow/gold. I guess the plastic coating has stained the fabric over time. I didn't even notice that tiny white bit until you pointed it out. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
