USA

Nice ones from all different periods. My favorite is again single WW1 Victory Medal ribbon bar with the stars. My personal belive is that older bars are always better made and they have much more characters.

France

Very intersting ribbon bars from this country. Especially early period single bars almost all what I have are with different pin system or made from metal. Nice to discover those kind a differences and compare them with other countries.
