Imperial Ribbon Bar

Rick and fellow collectors:

this ribbon bar is strictly imperial and I believe very old. The third award is a mystery to me. The Baenderkatalog points to it being an imperial Russian award, but can you help me out?

??!! What's the second one too--looks familiar, but cannot place it, either!

Since the last one is the Hungarian WW1 Commemorative Medal for Combatants, instituted in 1928,this bar dates between then and ca 1935--no Hindenburg Cross.

The next to last ribbon was used by an Austrian WW1 veterans' group called the "Ehrenlegion." That is their cross, with combatants swords, not a Prussian long service with incorrect swords.

I'll copy this into Imperial from here in General Wehrmacht.

HMMMMMM.....

The only guess for the 2nd ribbon would be the Anhalt Marienkreuz, but thats a womens award and had no swords.
The 3rd ribbon looks "Württembergish", but it isnt.

MAYBE this ribbons are veterans associations awards, but unknown to me.

Best regards
