Yes, but on the wrong ribbon.

Ribbon for combat service =

There were about 65,000 of those with the dark blue ribbon with red stripes. The noncombatant version (about 2,000) had the ribbon colors reversed---> red with dark blue stripes.

Lippe ribbon?

No...the white border is missing.

Has Baden colors.

Has Baden colors.

But isn't Baden. May be something from Mecklenburg.

But in the end, it doesn't even matter. It's a nice and genuine Oldenburg Freidrich August cross - on a not matching ribbon.

I don't know this Ribon.However, why is it this ribbon? This disappeared in an old wooden box sold in a specialty store of a true gun of Europe. I purchased only this. I bought it without understanding. Thank you! !
