Austrian Order of Merit Type II (post 1952) for a lower commander grade is my guess!

[Albert]

Hi Christian, it could be anything...

Eric, would that be a mil or civ award?

[Eric Stahlhut]

Eric, would that be a mil or civ award?

Both!

The Austrian order of Maria Theresa also has this style of ribbon.

[Albert]

Thanks Eric,

And what period does the Austrian order of Maria Theresa fit in?

I would say Italy Order of the Crown or a Spanish Military Merit Order.

Mount as neck ribbon makes no sense for the Spanish one, so my best guess is Italy.

Best regards

It might also be from a student organisation or something like that.
