Signalcorps45 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hello to everyone,I picked this up at at the last MAX show. Simple, short and sweet. The non-combatant merit cross is what drew me to this. Dean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The noncombattant medal has a most beautiful ribbon. Any ideas on the number of these awarded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can find, the Mecklenburg-Schwerin Militär-Verdienstkreuz am roten Bande was awarded only about 1640 times, which is around only 2% of the total WW1 era awards of this cross... and that's why we don't see them too often.

Old ribbons, just well stored. Edited August 12, 2022 by saschaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
