Another mysterious Imperial / Foreign ribbon

[landsknechte]

Does anyone have any clue what the middle ribbon on this bar is?



Looks vaguely Spanish, but in all honesty, I haven't a clue?

Looks like one of the "10000000 after the 20s vet-crosses". But at the moment I can't remeber which one... maybe I am too long in Kosovo now...

Ah, THAT one had me puzzled for years. It looks quite Finnish, and was on a lapel bow I have that belonged to a German 1918 Finnish campaign veteran, which threw me off track.

I think Werner posted it on one of his too many medal bars--

it is the 1920s "Treu dem Bataillon" generic vanity award made with the ribbon devices bearing unit designations. It has this ribbon in distinction (as if to make either more "official") to the much more common Treu dem Regiment" cross.

...and the veteran cross (treu dem Battalion) looks like that!

...on the down side, I just noticed that it's another one of those friggin' auctions that won't ship to the US.
