Name Those Ribbons for Fun and Profit...

[Ralph A]

Well, for fun, anyway. I see:

1. A non-combatant 1914 EKII ribbon and device (why doubled? aesthetics?).

2. What I am guessing is either a 1939 War Merit Cross, or Kyffhäuser- Kriegsdenkmünze ribbon. I'm inclined to the former.

3. Prussian crown order with Genfer cross or Verdienstkreuz für Kriegshilfe ribbon.

4. A long service ribbon? Wouldn't it have an attendant miniature device?

5. What is this last one? I'm stumped.

I'll let you identify this one:

I would say:

-EK II 1914 non-combatant
-KVK II 1939
-Verdienstkreuz für Kriegshilfe
-Long Service Decoration
-Olympia-Ehrenzeichen

Very interesting combination!!!

Second one:

Hausorden von Hohenzollern mit Schwertern

Thank you sir!

You've done so well, how about taking a shot at this one?

Ralph,

I'll try this one:

Black WWI wound badge
IC 2nd class
Hanseatisches Kreuz, Hamburg (lost a bit of color)
Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer mit Schwertern
Austrian Commemorative WWI medal (lost a bit of color)
Hungarian Commemorative WWI medal
Bulgarian Commemorative WWI medal

Ciao,

Claudio

Thanks to all!

Guys, here's the last of the lot.

In the first picture, the white-bordered yellow ribbon with a red central stripe just peeping out from under the EK job I have identified from the Ribbon Chart as Militärischer Karl-Friedrich Verdienstorden oder medaille für Verdienste im Felde, Baden.

So which is it?

Thanks for the help!

The medal. Now you must go into the depths of

no! no! not THAT! anything but thaaaaaaat!!!!!

The Ribbon Bar Article and look at WW1 devices... and lack thereof. It's for your own good. Really.

O cryptic, nebulous one:

I did read the article, some time ago and with much interest. Didn't you see my little "winky" face?

Thanks for your answer.
