Bavarian Vet.u.Krieger Verein

[Chip]

I know this question has probably been asked before, but I have not been able to locate the answer through past posts. Perhaps someone could help. I recently acquired a grouping belonging to a former member of the Bavarian 209th Minenwerfer Kompanie. Among the other things, there was a Bavarian Vet.u.Krieger Verein pin as shown. In addition, there was this "medal bar" with the broach wrapped in the same ribbon as that of the pin. There is a hook on the back to suspend something. Does anyone have an idea of what would have been on this bar originally? Obviously it was something associated with the Verein, but was it a medal or some other geegaw?

Thanks,

Chip

It was probably one of these or similar.

This is the only other thing that I've found attached to that particular ribbon:

Thanks guys,

I think landsknechte's example is closer to mine (same exact ribbon) and it makes sense to me that it was probably a membership medal that once hung on my "bar".

Best regards,
