    Nice 👍

    Interesting to see unusual ones…

     

    What are those end ones Greg?

    Tony,

    I must confess that I had no idea too 😉. I have no ribbon in my mind which could match, just the 1898 Signum Memoriae for civil servants and that would not match here anyway.

     

    Regards

    Hey all, the second to the end looks this the ribbon of the Lubeck Hanseatic Cross in reverse order.  I doubt that this case, I'm guessing it may be some local vet or war commemorative medal.

     

    The end ribbon (on the long bar) is so faded I just can't tell.

     

    Best to all

    Hi Gents,

    I’ve got a possible match…

     

    I found this one first

    as I was looking into this 👆 I found a second related award👇

    The bars end ribbon doesn’t have the red stripe and looks white/grey… this one is grey/white with that red stripe.
    - Maybe it is that heavily faded.

    Even if it’s not the same it is surely for another related one 🤷‍♂️ assuming my first identification is accurate 🤞

    Grey and white ribbon & with them both for similar services, the similarity is too much to be coincidence in my opinion 🤞

    The Upper Austrian and the Tyrolean "Katastropheneinsatzmedaille" were both established in 1965.  The Upper Austrian´s ribbon is white and red with narrow red and white edges, the pic above shows the 2002 version which was given out with a wrong ribbon.

     

    This kind of medal bars with 15 mm wide ribbons was in use just beween 1938 and 1945 in Austria as it was part of the Third Reich. And some years after, because there were not any other ribbons available.

     

    It would be very uncommon to mount medal bars in Wehrmacht style in the 1960ties. Some did, but in my opinion it's not a match...

     

    Regards

    I only find this one Franz Joseph I. Signum Memoriae Jubilee Medal - 1898

    This version of the medal was given to civil servants and not to soldiers. So it would make no sense in combination with the rest of the ribbons. In addition the owner would have recevied the 1908 Jubilee Cross in addition which is not on the medal bar.

    That rules the 1898 Signum Memoriae out.

    Regards
