But, as you know, regulations were not always followed by medal bars makers, and mistakes and omissions are known in bona fide items.
And nice Luger displays! Outstanding, indeed!

That is my understanding also. I've noticed and come to a conclusion that an recipient of the 8 year award and had a medal bar made or it was added to a medal bar and then later recieved the 18 year award, they just changed the medals or......and this is what I recently noticed, the eagle embrodery from the 18 and 15 year award was sewn onto the plain ribbon along with the medal itself.
Thanks for the comment, I owe alot to the mounts that GT makes. Better mounts couldn't be made....IMO.
