    That's about as much as I was able to discern out of the whole thing.

    Hrm.

    Curiouser and curiouser...

    Found another one of these up for sale, this time on that weird ribbon I've been trying to definitively nail down for ~20 years. (The seller describes it as a "Prinz Albert 1 Klasse medal silber miniature", the attribution of which I'm not putting a lot of stock.)

    A possibility:

    "The badge was awarded with various ribbons as a backing. The Hubertus ribbon (red with green edges), blue ribbon with white edges (for military clubs), green ribbon with white and blue border stripes (for shooting clubs) and green ribbon with blue and white diamonds on the edge (for small-caliber shooting clubs) are well known."

    It might be akin to the miniature versions of those older style landwehr badges that occasionally make their way into some lapel bows:
