'Prinz-Alfons-Erinnerungszeichen'
award of Bayern.
at least i guess.

[Brian L.]

Prinz Alphons was a avid hunter and he instituted this unofficial merit badge for hunters, marksmen and war veterans in the early 1920s. This is the ribbon for hunters. The ribbon for war vets was light blue with white edges, for marksmen, green with blue and white edges (opposite edges to hunters). A special award was given with the Order of St. Hubertus ribbon (red with green edges).
