RIBBONS FOR SALE

German States, German Imperial, German Colonial, France, Belgium, Tunisia, Russia, etc.

I bought this large collection of ribbons that was assembled by a collector of Oldenburg awards and decorations from upstate NY. He died last year.

He seems to have assembled this collection from three different sources: Many are original, period Imperial ribbons. These vary a lot in width, length and amount of wear. He also seems to have bought a large collection of Third Reich-era medalbar wrap. Many of the Third Reich-era medalbar wrap ribbons are 25mm, which is the standard width for mounting medalbars in the German style. Then, at some point he added a batch of postwar replacement ribbons. I believe these are mostly from the same manufacturer since their weave is distinctive. It reminds me of authentic British medal ribbons and I suspect they may have been woven in the UK shortly after the war.

He put all these ribbons together in a large binder. Many were labeled for sale, so he obviously sold them here and there, but they were not labeled by period of manufacture. Therefore I have gone through the collection and labeled each ribbon by its period of manufacture.

I've grouped the ribbons into these three main types, and color coded and priced them as follows (click to see larger):

A few important notes:

All prices are negotiable if you buy more than a few ribbons.

Some ribbons are priced higher for rarity, such as 2L, 3A 14C.

I stand by my estimates of period of manufacture 100%. I did them conservatively. If you are unhappy with any ribbon you can return it for any reason at all for a full refund (minus postage) within 7 days, no questions asked.

Each image can be enlarged by clicking it. Each image has a ruler at the bottom in mm so you can see the width.

I don't have lengths of every ribbon. Some might be quite short, some are quite long. Just ask.
