    Wrong Ribbon

    Hello everyone, I picked this up today at a flea-market, it's a war merit medal I believe for civillians. However, if I'm not mistaken it's ribbon is all wrong? Isn't this a ribbon for annexation of Sudentenland? Thanks, Greg

    The Medal is the "Kriegsverdienstmedaille" (War Merit Medal), the ribbon is for the Commemorative Medal of 1 October 1938 (Sudetenlandmedaille / Medaille zum anschluss Sudetenland).

      That's what I thought, thanks for the quick reply. Do you think they are both authentic, and the seller just mixed and matched what he had available? These are not commonly faked are they? Greg

        Yes, I think that the seller don´t know wich ribbon belongs to wich award,...
        The value of the Kriegsverdienstmedaille is about 10 €uros, so they are not so many and good fakes...so I think that the Medal is original. When the ribbon glows under "blacklight" (schwarzlicht), it is a fake..

          Thanks for the info. The ribbon is good, so I'll save it for the day I need to complete the annexation medal. Thanks again, Greg.
