lew Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Hello guys, I'm having hard time figuring out what medal is this ribbon is for? The closest I could think of is bavarian army jubillee medal, but the colour seems too purple and the green strips are too wide. It seems also different from the ernestine house order ribbon. Any idea what could it be? Edited May 15, 2014 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 And here is a side by side comparison between the questioned ribbon and army jubilee medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Following an Austrian ribbon, perhaps the Hungarian Order of St. Stephen, although the green stripes are a little narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jeff, that's pretty close. By the way the rest of the bar are EKII and MVO4 with swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagleorder Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Seeing as its behind the Austrian award, perhaps a Turkish Mejidie Order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) A Mejidie order could be really cool! I found one example on internet with similar ribbon, but most of the Mejidie order ribbon I saw are more red-ish. And it's a a biiiiiig one, too tall for the hook...

paul wood Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The ribbon is a ringer for Saxon duchies. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Saxon duchies are my prime suspect as well. The Saxe Ernestine house order ribbon matches the colour except missing two thin black lines on the inner edge of green strips. And they have very narrow outer boarders in purple.

ixhs Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Ah my bar; no mecidi and no austrian medal - the ribbon is purple not red... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Which Saxon Duchies order can be put after the Austrian order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
