Great Dane Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi Alex, Last one looks like one of the (prussian?) war medals with text "Unsern tapfern kriegern 18xx". /Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex K Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi Lambert, the first one, you could be right, the problem I have that neither ribbon matches those posted on my image, they look like solid colours regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambert Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hello Alex,I agree, but I believe that is the Red Ribbon for peacetime, it is very common to see this in Austrian Awards. I'll see some more. Regards Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being the case, it might account for a yellow and black ribbon looking like a solid colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex K Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi guys, thanks for the additional info, old film peculiarities are reasonably familiar with turning colours the same shade of grey, and I thought about that, the second ribbon COULD be plain red, the ribbon to the officers cross whilst grey does show faint darker stripes, correct for the yellow/black ribbon, interesting cunundrum regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
