Great collection!
Are going to try and get all the grades/crown/sword versions of the BMVK?
Similarly, the Saxon FA medals? Württemberg verdienstmedailles?
Nevertheless, congrats on such a great collection! Best of luck!
It’s a Breslau “Der Stahlhelm Reichs-Frontsoldanten-tag” 30/31 Mai meeting badge
A few others in the photo can be seen wearing it
Crown Prince Wilhelm is wearing a variation of this badge, pictured below

You’re right, simple mistake. Although that being said, it probably just came down to the manufacturer of the bar didn’t have that specific ribbon in stock and use a similar one as a stand in, but that’s just conjecture on my part
Bavarian Security service award for 20 years,
and a very very nice example at that! The original ribbon is great!

Here’s one that sold only a couple of months ago, I remember the selling price was WAY lower than this

A good tell tale sign is the weight of the cross but also the poor/low details from the casting in the observe/reverse crowns also are a tell tale sign.
If the weight is about (+/- ~.75 g) 15.3 g, the likelihood of it’s authenticity is much higher
Ah, that’s too bad, but needless to say, even with this being the case, the ribbon still compliments it’s nicely.
I love the nice dark original patina!
Such a great piece and with the original ribbon to boot! The pictures are great but I know it’s always better when you have it in your hands! Congratulations!
I remember seeing a post about this a while ago and let me just say how extremely impressive this is! This is probably the rarest set of awards I’ve ever seen! To have 1 of only 4 awarded in the Netherlands! Amazing! Congratulations!
best,
Dan
