Tom Y Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Looks like a silver Ehrenzeichen f?r Treue in der Arbeit, instituted in 1895 and awarded for 25 years' uninterrupted service to the State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hello Dante,The only answer that I can offer so far is that this ribbon goes to the Anhalt-Dessau 1813-15 campaign cross which was awarded from 1815 to 1823 which in view of the 1870-71 war medal and 1897 Centenary medal presents a real (even impossible ?) stretch. Hopefully, this ribbon was used for a later decoration; but I have not been able to find one so far. If I do, I will let you know.Actually I am inclined to think that what I identified as a Centenary ribbon is set up with double prongs which leads me to believe that it goes to one of those Baden medals with the oblong wire suspension. For instance a Civil Merit medal, anywhere from 1810 through 1912 could be correct.Best wishes,Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Now that's weird... Two hooks to fix an award with an yellow ribbon is a Baden merit medal - you won't be able to fix a Prussian Erinnerungsmedaille 1897 on both those hooks. But what is that Anhaltian ribbon for? I cannot remember ever having seen an Anhalt award with such an Italian ft. Baden loop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 He may just have liked to hang his Centenary and the Anhalt labor medal at different places depending on his mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one!Yes, I think that Tom Y has it right - the 1895 silver Ehrenzeichen f?r Treue in der Arbeit. I missed that ribbon, sorry. Looking at the picture, in terms of scale, when compared to the 1870-71 war medal (29 mm.), the labor medal ribbon at 28 mm makes more sense than the 1813-15 war cross ribbon which would be 36 mm.

saschaw Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) Baden, Silberne Verdienstmedaille - here an 1881 to 1908 type which should go well with the bar. Or are we on Prussian 1897 medal? But the hooks, those hooks... (picture rights by U. Bretzendorfer )Plus, I'm on a 1870 medal in steel - don't ask why, just a feeling...

Ulsterman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I agree with the hooks theory-It makes little sense on what was a custom made piece for double hooks to be there unless they supported a larger planchet. I' think its a Baden civil merit award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
