Thanks trying to find out if he had Oldenburg FA and Austrian Merit cross ?

interesting, if he was actually awarded the Schaumburg-Lippe cross, then the medal was not only awarded to native battalions as we discussed in another post.

I found this photo of him during WW2 where we have a view of his ribbon bar, unfortunately the photo is in poor quality but maybe it's possible to compare and identify the ribbons.

Hard to make ribbons out ? 1st one could be honor cross since his ek2 is in button ? Second could be a 3rd reich LS ? ? ?

I don't have any information on Wunderlich, but if your question is related to your medal bar shown here: I really cannot make out an Austrian ribbon on the Wunderlich photo, so I assume your tuxedo style bar is most certainly not his...
