Looking for images of a few Bavarian decorations

[landsknechte]

Perusing the Bavarian section of the "Medals of the World" website ( at www.medals.org.uk), I found a few that I was unfamiliar with:

Merit Cross for Volunteer Nurses
1910 Agriculture Jubilee Medal
Ludwig Medal for Arts and Science
Ludwig Medal for Industry
Army Workshop Service Medal
Volunteer Nurses Decoration

Does anyone have any images of these medals or thier ribbons?

AFIK, #3 (Ludwig Medal for Arts and Science) and #4 (Ludwig Medal for Industry) looked the same. Round medal with bust of Ludwig II on the obverse and a goddess figure on the reverse. They were established in 1872 and split into a Gold and Silver Medal in 1914. And its "Science and Art":

Ludwigsmedaille für Wissenschaft und Kunst
Ludwigsmedaille für die Industrie

The best image I can find is this one from a Thies catalog. It is a JPG created from a bitmap of a PDF, so the quality is a little poor, to say the least. But at least it gives you an idea of the ribbon. If someone has the actual catalog (23. Auktion, 6. Dez. 2003), maybe he can scan the image?

No need for anyone to go to all that much trouble. That's a distinctive enough ribbon that even that image gives me a clear enough picture of it for my purposes (being able to ID the more obscure Bavarian stuff as it appears on ribbon bars).

Thanks again,
