Hungary Order of Merit

[Ulsterman]

"Check this out" (to quote Malcolm McClaren)...

The Hungarian Order of Merit, 4th class. Alas! No Star, but the hunt is the fun thing.

Were these worn on medal bars as well as the breast star?

Sorry for the bad scan.

My first higher order and an awarded piece (I am attempting to get the document for it too).

From my understanding the medal was to be worn on the bar when the breast badge was not worn. The device on the ribbon was to give the indication of what class you were entitled to. When the Order was awarded in the I, II, III, IV th classes a medal such as this came with the box. Later this medal without a device on the ribbon was awarded as the Vth class.
