Hi Carol I, am I correct is reading that the attached, in my collection has the wrong ribbon, if so which would be the correct one,

Hi Alex,

Yours is the correct ribbon. Type one insignia (1877-1932) had red ribbon with two blue stripes on each side. The red ribbon with one blue stripe on each edge is the Military Virtue ribbon for battlefield awards. Hence it does not fit peacetime insignia.

Hi Thanks for the confirmation, much appreciated
