Sorry, but you're talking about Saxony-weimar award for womens service in wartime (oval medal), but it is not this ribbon ??

I post a photo of Saxony Weimar award for women's service in wartime (OEK2418) :

Sorry Noor,

I have mistakenly given the wrong description:-

I copied the wrong line from the book, it should be:

Saxon - Weimar period:

Ribbon code: 518. - for 2416: Verdienstkreuz f?r Heimatverdienste, 1914 - 1918.

The Cross shown is the correct one for the ribbon.

Thanks pinpon590 for pointing it out,

my excuse to much good food for the Romanian Orthodox Easter and NOT enough Coffee
