    Here is a small, but interesting ribbon bar from a medic, possibly from Hamburg with an Austrian red cross award. I am struggling with the ID of the last two. What appears to be a plain white ribbon, and the Order of St John?.

    Can't always tell--I've seen plenty of dyslexic bars with "upsde down" pins but I think the Johanniter/St John comes first ending with the Prussian Red Cross MEdal.

    Pure white-- ? Ölberg Cross? ? Saon Lifesaving

    Yes you are correct Rick, I had it upside down, should have paid more attention the bow at the bottom of the wreath! ;)

    The white looking ribbon I am sure is faded from whatever colour it originally was.

    I would guess the white ribbon is an Ölberg cross.

    No medic, most likely a well situated nobleman who contributet with money and efforts to the church and the red cross.

    Lots of greetings
