Ualman Posted January 26, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 26, 2021 Hi all! Have been sort of collecting Militaria for quite some time, mainly US Army Airforce (WW2) One time I was able to get a few service uniform jackets and pants. They came with ribbon bars. My questions are: I want to be sure that the bars are original, so are they correct? And I’ve been able to find all the different medals except the one with the wide yellow part in the middle. Thank you very much in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeclown Posted January 26, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 26, 2021 First one appears that the blue and yellow is the Air Medal, the American Campaign one is backwards, or upside down same thing. Second rack is correct. The last one assuming the picture is upside down the first 2 are in wrong place switch them around, third one is ok. Also the EAME is again upside down or backwards same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntssurplus Posted January 27, 2021 Share #3 Posted January 27, 2021 I would not switch any of the ribbons around. Assuming they are of WW2 vintage, it would not be uncommon for them to be out of place. I would like to see pictures of the rest of the uniforms to get more of an idea of them. The one in the first picture with the two wide yellow parts would be the air medal as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntssurplus Posted January 27, 2021 Share #6 Posted January 27, 2021 What kind of hardware are on the ribbons (clutch back, pin back, etc). I think they all look good, and don’t see any issues. Again, just don’t switch around the ribbons as it was common for them to be worn I’d differing orders then the order of precedence at the time.
