Right Hendrik. The ribbon over the medal seems to me much too purple, but it can be an effect of the picture.

Hello Claudio,

Yes, the picture doesn't show the ribbon's colours accurately. The lighting probably wasn't right - I'm not a good photographer and a crappy old camera doesn't help

Anyway, I strongly suspect it's not the original ribbon but a (fairly decent) replacement ribbon.

Here is my Volunteer of the Spanish War. No markings.

Any comments is welcome.

cheers
