WW2 Royal Canadian Navy Ribbon Bar

This is a World War II-era Royal Canadian Navy Ribbon Bar, originally worn on the uniform of Canadian naval personnel. The ribbon bar consists of a metal mount fitted with colored ribbon segments, representing the official awards, medals, or campaign honors earned by the service member. Each ribbon corresponds to a specific decoration or campaign medal issued by Canada during the Second World War. The arrangement and selection of ribbons follow official military regulations for display on dress uniforms. Ribbon bars provided a convenient way to display honors and distinctions without wearing full-sized medals for everyday service or formal occasions. Items such as this are used for research, collecting, or as educational examples of Canadian military insignia from the 1939–1945 conflict. The condition, colors, and specific patterns of the ribbons can provide information on the awards received and time served by the original recipient within the Royal Canadian Navy during WWII.
