Austria-Hungary Austrian Ehrenlegion vs. Mar. Inf. Treue dem Rgt.

[landsknechte]

I've had this ribbon bar for about a year now, and a question just arose in my mind as to what the plain blue ribbon might be. I had always assumed that it was the Austrian Ehrenlegion decoration. Now, having seen plain blue ribbons on a few of the Treue dem Regiment type veteran's decorations with Marine Infantry bars, I'm wondering what the odds of it being that might be. Anyone have any thoughts?

Nope, GOT to be the Austrian Ehrenlegion. Not only are the swords the right color, they also used the "Bavarian" bound together swords like that.

Good point. It's been a while since I looked at an Ehrenlegion, and as such, I didn't catch the bound swords as a clue.

Thanks!
