It appears the thin black ribbon is correct for this award.

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the correct (issued) ribbon was for the Württemberg Silbernes Ehrenzeichen für Weibliche Dienstboten?
I have seen this medal with the ribbon shown above, but according to Jörg Nimmergut's "Bänderkatalog", Borna Borac's book, and 1 other reference book, the ribbon appears to be a very thin black band to be worn around the neck. Does anyone know for sure what the correct ribbon would have been when awarded?
Thank you for your time!

Paja,
Thank you! So basically you had to be in pretty bad shape to have received the gold medal!

Hi again, everyone!
Just purchased this a today and was wondering if you think this may be the gold (gilt) version? It seems that the gold wash applied to the wound medals wore off pretty easily, but this one appears to have some remaining (or just my imagination), especially on the suspension.
Also, what exactly differentiated one receiving a gold vs. iron version? I know the gold version was for more serious wounds, but what were the determining factors?
Thanks again

Hello everyone!
I was hoping someone could tell me the significance of the small Croatian Coat of Arms attached to the ribbon of the Bronze Medal of the Order of King Zvonimir's Crown? It is only listed as being on the bronze medal in Borna Barac's book, and not for the silver or iron grades.
Thank you!

I think Radmilo has the answer, the only way to be absolutely 100% certain in my opinion, as they are both of 42mm width is either the case of issue or an award document, especially if the ribbon has gone AWOL.

Wow, that makes things a little difficult!

Hi everyone!
OK, I'm not seeing it, so what is the difference between the 3rd. & 4th. classes of the Order of the Iron Trefoil? They're both the same size (right?), etc., so what am I missing? Photos would help as well!
Thanks!

Paul,
Thank you for the quick reply! I know there are a lot of reproductions of the Croatian awards, and was wondering what I should be on the lookout for for fakes? Obviously, poor quality details on the medals would be the first thing to loom for, but anything else in particular?
Kindest regards,
Jason

Hi everyone!!
Just started to dive into collecting Croatian WWII awards. I just picked this one up and was wondering if I could get your opinions on it? First, it was described as a bronze grade award in zinc, but I don't see any evidence of bronzing. I'm thinking it it's an iron award in zinc. Second, what do you think of its authenticity? These are the only photos I have of it as it has not arrived. Also, I'm not sure of any mint marks (if there were any in bronze/iron grade awards). Thanks for your thoughts!!!

Thanks! I just received the medal over the weekend and the ribbon is the correct one! Pics can be so deceiving sometimes! LOL!

Chuck,
I was using the book for reference as well, and it's sometimes hard to tell for sure from photos!

Hi everyone!
I'm interested in purchasing this medal from a dealer, and I'm a little concerned about the color of the ribbon. I know it's probably a replacement, and I'm fine with it, but to me the color is a little too "purple" from the photos I have seen of original medals/ribbons. What do you all think? Is it the "correct" ribbon for this medal?
Thanks in advance!

Interesting! I just found another "non-combatant's" medal is silvered medal that actually has a combatant's reverse...

I contacted the seller and he claims it's 100% original because "it's in steel" and "non-combatants are in steel". I sent him photos of the reverse of each medal and said that I wasn't aware of any non-combatants with a combatants reverse, or combatants medals in silvered steel. No reply yet...

Hi everyone!
What's going on here??? It was listed as a non-combatant's medal, but it is actually for a combatant in slivered steel. Just wondering what's up!?!?
