    Unknown foreign ribbon of Vizeadmiral Erhard Maertens


    Recommended Posts

    - Eisernes Kreuz (1914) 2. Klasse

    - Hamburgisches Hanseatenkreuz

    - Großherzoglich Oldenburgisches Friedrich August-Kreuz 2. Klasse mit Spange “Vor dem Feinde”

    - Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer

    - ???

    Does anyone recognize the last ribbon?

    At first glance, the last ribbon looks like the k.u.k. Österreichisches Militär-Verdienstkreuz 3. Klasse mit der Kriegsdekoration. But that award is not listed for Maertens in any of the Rangliste. Other ribbon with a similar device, Kaiserlich Türkischer Eiserner Halbmond is also not listed. And I don't think it's the Ehrenzeichen des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes either. Perhaps someone will have an idea. It could be a foreign award with this kind of circle device. Member of the forum "P.F." suggested something from South America from the 1920/1930s. There is also an possibility it's indeed the Österreichisches Militär-Verdienstkreuz 3. Klasse mit der Kriegsdekoration that was somehow left out of the Rangliste for Maertens.

    Any help is appreciated.
