The medal itself looks absolutely fine, to me the ribbon is from a 13th March 'Anschluss' medal and it has the hook and grommet set-up for a tri-fold ribbon. The side stripes are not thick enough for an Eagle Order, here's mine for comparison ...



Cheers, Ian.

[germanmedals]

yes you are totally right

Beautiful EO!

I agree with Ian, the ribbon does have the proportions of an Anschluss ribbon instead of an EO but IMO it could be period mounted anyway. Here attached are 3 drapery mounted Anschluss medals I have which, as best as I can see, are all period mounts. The one at left is definitely a 13 Marz ribbon, the one at right is an EO ribbon and the one in the middle is... "somewhere in the middle" IMO
