Unknown Bavarian(?) Award

[Mark M]

Can anyone help ID this award? It is currently on a Bavarian medal bar but I doubt it is original to the bar. The award has the dates 1870 1871 on the reverse. Sorry for the poor photos.

Thanks,

Mark

It's a Belgian veteran's organisation medal.

The full name is: the "Philantrophic Society of Former Military Personnel of the Belgian Army who took part in the 1870-1871 Capaign in Belgium, during the Franco-German War"

It should have a ribbon of 31mm composed 5 red stripes 8 small yellow stripes and 4 black stripes (cfr Belgian military medal)

Thank you for the quick ID. The award is currently hanging from a Bavarian Luitpold ribbon so I doubt it is original to the bar.
