Prussian neck ribbon?

[Tony]

Hello,

A mate has just bought a box of Brit ribbons and among them are various foreign ribbons, is the one pictured German?

I was thinking PLM but have only seem them with ties, this one has a buckle device. Any help is much appreciated.

Hello Tony:

Thank you for sharing the photo of this interesting ribbon.  It does not appear to be a PLM ribbon. It appears to have white (and not silver) stripes.   It therefore has the correct colors for an EK ribbon, however the proportions are incorrect.  It does look to be made of silk possibly and to be old.  What is the width of the ribbon?

Best regards,

[Tony]

Thanks for the reply.

The ribbon is actually only 32mm wide, I thought it looked wider. the buckle is gold in colour and possibly plated or brass and there's some old thread still sewn to what might be the bottom of the ribbon if hung from the neck.
