Does any one know what this ribbon is for? Unknown WWI ribbon

[Rick Research]

That is the Bulgarian War Ribbon used generically for ALL bravery awards. It was the statutory ribbon for the Bravery Order and Bravery Crosses, but could also be used for wartime valor awards of the Military Merit Order and Cross, the various grades of Merit Medal, etc.

Here is an example of the Military Order for Bravery. This is the 4th Class, Grade II:



Given that there are no other ribbons, odds are you have an NCO or enlisted man's bar, so it would more likely be a lower grade, such as the Bravery Cross. They're easy to find, generally well-made, and quite cheap when compared to most other WW1 combattants' decorations.
