WittWorldWide.com Posted May 27, 2013 Share #452 Posted May 27, 2013 An interesting dual matched set that were found together... Typical 1930s to Early WW2 construction for the top trio, and most likely a WW2 Era BB&B constructed set, with sterling clutches. (note the WW1 Occup. Ribbon Variation.)

WittWorldWide.com Posted May 27, 2013 Share #454 Posted May 27, 2013 WW2-Korea Army Veteran. Pad most likely done in Germany in the 1950's, with traces of being removed from a uniform, but hard to date exactly. A mix of device makers... Take note of the Silver OLC on PH Ribbon.

WittWorldWide.com Posted May 27, 2013 Share #455 Posted May 27, 2013 For the moment I'll leave this last image as a bit of a test... This was on a uniform I handled a number of years back. It is a Beautifully hand crafted set, with each ribbon in an individual frame, mounted to the series of bars, that are then affixed to tunic with screw posts... It was stunning, and an incredible relic to work with. This Ribbon Set can only go to One man. Who is that one man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, and apologize for the mental lapse... I was posting this at Midnight, which appears to be past my bed time. Is there a way to re-post & edit this segment?
