    Hello!

     

    Does anyone recognize the ribbon on this bouton / ordens-button?

    I suspect that it might come from one of the nordic countries but I might be wrong.

    No, not Danish...

    The only decoration that comes to my mind is the Austrian Red Cross.

     

    Any maker on the button itself?

     

    Of course it must be the Austrian Red Cross! I can't believe I didn't think of that! 😐

     

    The button is maker marked for Boullanger Paris France. It's quite usual that Swedish boutons are made in France, I have some others in my collection. 

     

    The bouton have what I think the following ribbons:
    Yellow ribbon
    Pale blue ribbon - Swedish jubilee medal?
    Red ribbon - Legion de Honor?
    White/red ribbon on outside - Austrian red cross?
    Dark blue ribbon on outside - Finnish White Rose?

     

    I first thought that the yellow ribbon was the Swedish order of the sword. But it looks like all-yellow.

    Oh I didn’t realise that it was a boutonniere for many awards. How interesting!
