Correct width of ribbons for 14/15 star BVM and VM

[anthony]

Hi,

Sorry if this question has already been answered but can anyone tell me if the original ribbons of the above medals were all the same width and if so what should it be? Alternatively if they were different widths could someone tell me what they should be?

Many thanks in advance

Anthony

The ribbons for the 1914/15 Star and British War Medal were both 32mm wide, but the Victory Medal ribbon was much wider at 39mm.

Thanks Andrew-that was exactly what confused me!Anthony

My BWM ribbon is 32mm wide, I think that you will find that all British medal ribbons are 1 1/4 in wide or 32 mm.

Most British medal ribbonds are, but the Victory Medal is very definitley 39 mm.
