original ribbon bar?

[LondonJay]

Any ideas if this ribbon bar is authentic please? It looks ok to me, the back is the same as many confirmed genuine ones I've seen but that doesn't mean alot I suppose! Also is the last ribbon the westwall one? Cheers Jay.

Also is the last ribbon the westwall one?

Yes.

original but MAY have been postwar constructed,,,what is the provenance of the item?

[Zeller]

imo is period

[LondonJay]

Its on e-bay so thats why I was wary plus the swords on the merit cross looked a bit dodgy

The swords are a possibility if the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2nd Klasse mit Schwerten was issued.

Hi J,
On that combination I'd expect to see the KVKII with swords, the order seems fine.
Nothing strikes me as being odd with this bar, I'd like to think a faker who was using original parts would want to drop in something something unusual in to an otherwise straightforward ribbon bar in order to gain a higher price.

It looks good to me ,I do not see anything that say fake.I like them little more durty.

It sold for £21. The swords on my ribbon bar look alot better, these ones seemed a bit cheap looking?? J
