CDWells Posted June 12, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 12, 2022 A couple years ago, I came into possession of one of the medals the city of Genoa presented to the soldiers of a particular group of soldiers from the 332nd Regiment of the US Army. It is just the medallion at this point, but I would like to remount it as best I can. (I can just about guess how a medal presented to a regiment that was mostly from Ohio ended up in a junk bin at an Indiana flea market.) This requires two things A. A piece of suitable ribbon. I think I know the pattern, but what was the "usual" length and width. B. Knowledge of how the ribbon would have been fastened, both on the medal and to a uniform. It may require sourcing hardware too. I'm not having much luck finding info. There were only 100 or so of the bronze ones made up, so that's not a surprise. I did find this photo of a medal with what was probably its original ribbon in place. There's an Italian medal that still sports a similar or possibly identical ribbon, if the width is the same. There's an Omani one as well. It was probably originally silk, but I really don't know. That was the norm back then, I think. Anyone want to wade in on my project?

patches Posted June 15, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 15, 2022 Their Full Sized Medal Ribbons appear to be looped with no pin plates like ours, we guees the looped ribbon was slid along a ribbon mount and worn that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
