GERMAN 1914 IRON CROSS 2nd CLASS - WWI RIBBON BAR

This is an original 1914 IRON CROSS 2nd CLASS - WWI ribbon bar.  To be attached to a medal pin to “bar”.  Pick and choose ribbon bars for you own unique military dress uniform bar.  The size of this ribbon is 1.5 cm. We also have one in a size 1 cm (very small).  If you wish the very small one let us know. Okay condition.   

Small ribbon bars where issued to military personnel as an award for military service just as the larger medals and ribbons would be.  They were to be worn in place of having to wear the actual larger ribbons.  Each ribbon bar is normally mounted in a row on a small metal bar for attachment to their jacket.  During war times soldiers also used scraps or uniform or insignia backing material.  Ribbon bars may also come with an attached miniature medal (pin) mounted to the corresponding ribbon.
