Romian Order of Michael the Brave.

Looking through past post I see references to the Romanian Order of Michael the Brave. I noticed the ribbon bar shown in the thread about Christ's bar.
Question: Why would the Michael the Brave have swords on the ribbon bar unless it was awarded in 1944 or after? I have seen a few bars and none had swords but I am no expert and the ribbons of Romania, especially what changes could have occurred between wars, confuses me a bit.

I have been facinated with the Micael the Brave Order for years and the trouble I have is finding good reference material covering the 3 grades of the the three types.
I wonder if the short lived order of 1938 that authorized swords was acted on my manufacturer or if any were awarded. I would think not.

If anyone would share knowledge with me and hopefully images of ribbons and the order itself I would appreciate it. I will share my new Order bar with a Michael the Brave and my other Michael the Brave if I ever get image hosting. Maybe I will become a member if this service is offered here.
