imperial russia Campaign medals with order ribbons?

[Mark McM]

Gentlemen,

This past weekend, I viewed an old collection that contained a good selection of Boxer Rebellion material.  Amongst the medals was a Russian bronze issue that was suspended from a ribbon from the Order of St. Vladimir.  Is this sort of thing correct and if so, what was the criteria for changing ribbons?

They could be suspended from either the St Vladimir or St Andrew Ribbon.

thanks, Paul!  On what basis?  

[Egorka]

The medal was suspended on combined St Vladimir and St Andrew ribbon.

Of course, I was misreading the ribbon details, another, more frequent, senior moment.
