    Hello Everyone,

    I purchased three medals a while ago that were sold as German. One I've posted on the Identification thread as I cannot find it any where. The other two I know are German but I have some questions about the ribbon being correct. The one I am posting here is a commemoritive medal from Baden. The ribbon that came with it looks like the Fire Services Long Service ribbon (blue and white stripes) only I think it is too wide for even that at 36 mm. I believe the Fire Service ribbon is narrower. I have showed this medal along side another Baden commemorative in the last photo and would like to know if this medal would take the same ribbon.

    Your help is, as always, greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    Brian

    Oops I've posted it twice. Sorry.

    In this photo I show the other medal from my collection that I believe has the correct ribbon. Though I think the ribbon for this medal was wider, this one is only 30 mm. but the dealer I purchase my ribbons from was out of the wider ribbon.

    My question is, what is the correct ribbon for the medal on the left hand side (viewer's left)?

    Would it be the same as the ribbon on your right hand side?

    Thanks again for any help you cn give me.

    Regards

    Brian

    Brian, it is Bayern not Baden. The ribbon is correct.

    Prinzregent Luitpold's 90th birthday

    Brian, this is not a military award but simply an unofficial birthday medal anyone could get and wear. The colors for such patriotic tokens are usually the national colors (In this case blue and white for Bavaria)

    Many thanks for the information. So often these thpes of medals come with just any old ribbon attached and I could not find reference to this medal. I guess if I looked under the correct catagory (Bayern) I would have found it. :speechless:

    Thanks again.

    Regards

    Brian
