Kriegsverdienstkreuz (für Kriegshilfe)

I have checked it. Its the normal War Merit Cross (for military merit)

ok, now we know what it is!
but why have the baden decorations often so less gold finish?
and all the other decorations from the other states have a very good finish?

Do those two medals have the same ribbon, or is this one unique to the normal War Merit Cross?

Whichever it is, I've got it on one of my ribbon bars:



(Ratty perhaps, but it's my only Luebeck Hanseatic Cross.)

Yes, thats the ribbon for the Baden KVK, Chris. There are several other similar ribbons from Baden, but not exactly the same. This ribbon is unique.

Maybe a ratty one, but still nice.
