Guys,

please, which was the correct ribbon for this medal? I'm wanting one but confused which one to choose...

1) is most correct but only 3) looks like it is even an original ribbon.

Loose, if these are new collector ribbons it hardly matters since there is no value then but the medal itself-- so choose the nicest one that appeals to you and forget the ribbon.

Even back then, this award was one of the most commonly worn on incorrect ribbons of any German award. I'd say off the top of my head that 9 out of 10 I've seen on ribbon or medal bars just used the pre-existing Saxon long service awards ribbon:

Many thanks for feedback Rick. I thought that the first one would be the right one...

I found also a ribbon with two stripes only...

Thanks again for the info ;)
