Hello,
Was wondering if anyone could help me identify the ribbon far to the right, beside the "Feldzug in Afrika" one?

LRRPS,
The ribbon is for the Hungarian WW 1 Commemorative (Combattant) medal....often awarded to German/Austrian soldiers for WW 1 service....
I'd look this bar over carefully......, WW1 Austrian/Finnish/Russia Winter 41/41/Afrika/no 14/18 Honor Cross/ no swords/etc. service seems "over the top" at first sight....
If you own it and want to be sure, show us the back of the bar.....

I don't have a pic of the backside at the moment, but will try to take one later.
The tunic it is attached to belonged to Oberstlt. Anton Holzinger. He was from Austria, entered service in august 1918. Participated in the invasion of Poland, Norway, Russia. Awarded Finish cross of liberty 3rd class while serving with Geb. Jäg. Rgt 139.
Assigned to Geb. Jäg. Rgt 756, fought in Tunis. Ended the war as commander of Volks-Grenadier Regiment 603. Entered ÖBH2 in 1958, and retired a Brigadier.Comment

LRRPS,
Obviously if you know all that about the owner ...... the ribbon bar matches up nicely....just alittle unusual setup then....probably.....still like to see the reverse when it's in hand.
