Paddywhack,
Are you sure about the identification of the medal you posted? To my eye (but I claim no great expertise) you have posted a beautiful example of the Militär-Verdienst-(Tapferkeits-) Medaille. I know of no medal directly associated with the Militär-Max-Joseph-Orden although the bust & ribbon imply that this medal and the order are related, I believe the relationship is that they represent the highest military awards for officers (the order) and enlisted personnel (this medal).
The Militär-Max-Joseph-Orden was a white enameled cross with crown on the same ribbon.
Check them out on Dave Danner’s excellent website

That said - what a beautiful example of this medal! One of which to be proud!
Stogie – a little help here?
