Hello,
I have this Austrian ribbon bar in my collection. I know that with regards to the ribbon of the Military Merit Cross/ Bravery Medal it is generally nearly impossibile to say which award (Military Merit Cross, Bravery Medal, Merit Cross with Crown, Military Merit Medal etc.) is meant. But since the bars to the awards were normally silver coloured I am wondering whether the award can be narrowed down in this case. In the past I have seen sometimes Military Merit Crosses with a golden bar and swords. Does anyone know whether this was official and if so whether it was only allowed to Military Merit Crosses or also to other awards?
Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks and best regards
