Grubenwehr-Ehrenzeichen on a ribbon bar

[Daniel Krause]

Hi Guys,

here another one from my collection. It is made in the cheap tab back style and is heavily worn.
It has the Grubenwehr-Ehrenzeichen on the 4th position.

Best regards

That's the first one I've EVER seen on a ribbon bar! Congratulations on a nifty find!

No disrespect intended

But could the Enlightened Masters clue in those of us who don't have a clue.

What is special about this ribbon?

Stop laughing! It's a legitimate question.

Isn't the black stripe bordered by white stripe?

David,

It is a miners medal for service (15 yrs) or for having taken part in a mine rescue etc..

[David S]

I see the light

Thanks

It looks similiar to either the Wurttemburg Bravery or the Austrian Long Service Award. . .I had a question on what looked like the latter, turned out to br the former.

I learn something everytime I access the forum

Here a more clear picture of the Ribbon.
It looks really like the Württemberg bravery ribbon or the Austrian long service ribbon, but with small white edges.

Best regards
