large ribbon bar ID please

[all1knew]

Hello all,

Was wanting to get a possible ID on the fourth red ribbon please. Any idea, Baden maybe but in combination with Bavarian War Merit?

Dear William,

 

It could (and I think it most likely is) a baden Service award, however it could also be a Brunswick Order of Henry the lion. Given the silver swords on the Bavarian award (indicating either a BMVK2x or more commonly a BMVO4x) it could be possible.

 

Kind regards, Laurentius

Hi,

the green colour is gone, it must represent the Luitpold medal of 1905. Not sure at all, but it's an idea

Despite everything being possible, I think a Baden long service medal is very unlikely in this group, not least because it should not be worn in combination with the Wehrmacht duo that replaced it! Assuming some odd discoloration, I'm with Christophe: This is most likely the Bavarian 1905 Jubiläumsmedaille für die Armee, or - maybe even more likely - one of the other Bavarian medals worn on the same ribbon: The Bronzene Prinzregent-Luitpold-Medaille am Bande der Jubiläumsmedaille from 1911/12, and the semi-official Goldene-Hochzeits-Erinnerungsmünze from 1918 that wasn't handed out until the early 1920s. There's no way to know for sure...

Hi Gents,

what are these last two please?

 

🤔 i don’t suppose they are (faded) Austro Hungarian WW1 campaign medal ribbons?

Thanks, I was just making sure before I suggested…a Karl Truppen Kreuz 

But now I see too many differences.

So forget that.

A different suggestion is a Finnish medal.

The red centre stripe, the yellow stripes with thin red edges (white on Baden service medal) all match the ribbon for the Finnish

‘Order of The Cross of Liberty’ medal.

 

There was more than one version issued.

 

There was a later version too

Was my suggestion of the Finnish one an obvious non starter Gents?

While I cannot exclude them by 100 %, I think neither of them is very likely.

 

I stick with the Bavarian jubilee medal, despite the ribbon looking bit odd.

The Baden ribbon mentioned here did not have white edges.

 

That type of ribbon was only used until the 1850s...
