Badge of the Landwehr

Badge of the Landwehr

Intended to distinguish members of the Landwehr. It appears as a straight-sided, white metal cross, covered with white enamel with a narrow sky-blue edging along the sides of the cross. On the cross is laid sword with its handle upwards, over which is a shield with a cross of black enamel. The reverse side is smooth with a pin for wearing.

IT SHOULD BE IMPORTANT TO ME THAT SOME MEMBER KINDLY ANSWER TO THE 2 BELOW QUESTIONS :

1) Is it the Badge of the Landwehr (or "Ehrenkreuz der Baltischen Landeswehr") an Order/Decoration OR is it an 'Unit badge' ?

2) If it is an Order/Decoration, what are the colours of the ribbon pertaining this cross ?

Hoping that have an answer to my questions

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Lilo
