    Description

    For sale is a rare tri-fold sample folder of British military campaign ribbons from the mid 19
    th
    C to WW I.  The piece is 12 inches tall by 7 inches wide when folded.  It is made of cardboard with a black fabric backing.  It has 114 different sample campaign ribbons glued on; only one is missing.  Most have a printed identification.  Two have hand-written corrections, and the final six are identified by hand.  The back of the left panel is rubber-stamped “NAVY STANDARD”
    Condition on the book is as found.  There is plenty of handling wear to the exterior, one bruise to the center section, some moisture spots and what looks like a spill to the front cover.  One ribbon is missing.  Overall the ribbons themselves seem to be in nice shape.  A valuable resource for the military collector.
