I would like to buy some original 14-18 CdG ribbon, can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

French and Belgian.

Got some mounting and framing to do.

Have a look on Ebay - there are always CdeG medals for sale. Some if the dealers mayhave ribbons.

I have had a look at ebay, my first port of call, though to be honest the ribbons are modern reproduction and consequently a tad 'tacky' looking.
Compared to original old unissued ribbon.
Cheers, for you input, Ian.

Do any of the serious dealers stock old original gear?

Oh yes, nice pair of gongs!

Totally different ribbon, however.

Cheers anyway, mate.

Try seller "contoutos" on ebay france, very reliable and a good source for period ribbons.

Nice one, Jan.
I will give it a look up.
I managed to get a short length of original kit, however it is not quite long enough for the mounting I am putting together.
Cheers,
