MattOravik Posted July 29, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2007 Does this uniform look ok or does it look put together? I notice it has 2 ETO bars. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted July 29, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2007 I passed on it. Something about it bugs me, and gut instinct said pass. He also wants $110 for the reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectsmedals Posted July 29, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 29, 2007 In my opinion the ribbon bar has been put together and added. As already pointed out there are two EAME ribbons. Also, the Victory Medal and Occupation ribbons are wider than the American Campaign ribbon which is odd. The American Campaign ribbon should take precedence over the EAME and Victory Medal. Lastly, the Good Conduct Medal ribbon has the bar for a third award but the sleeve only has one service hash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpatrick Posted July 29, 2007 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2007 I agree that it looks a little suspicious. I just wonder why he would go through the trouble of piecing a jacket together, and then not put on collar brass? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder why he would go through the trouble of piecing a jacket together, and then not put on collar brass? Chris Maybe he didn't have the "right" brass to put on.

Jim Baker Posted July 29, 2007 Share #6 Posted July 29, 2007 I think he said he's had it for 30 years. I don't remember exactly, but that was the reason for the high reserve. He hated to get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfinder505 Posted July 29, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 29, 2007 It could be that someone in the vet's family stuck the bars on the uniform. I doubt it was the vet. However, it causes me to have doubt and why pay for one that is messed up when you can just wait until one comes along that everything fits.

cpatrick Posted July 29, 2007 Share #8 Posted July 29, 2007 The bottom line with these type of uniforms, is that if someone knows what they are doing, they can put together a uniform for any regiment, or division, and who can tell that it is fake? Infact, because of these hoaxters, some legit uniforms are often called into question. Fortunately, this uniform doesn't fool many. But they are still bidding.
