Thanks

I think it was forbidden to wear this award during the Third Reich.

Nice one!

Tried to match the ribbons, but wasn't sure that was a fit. Looks like it is.

Here is what the medals look like:

In addition to the ribbon-mounted second class there was also a pin-back first class.

Ok, I'll bite.... Why would this ribbon be forbidden to be worn during the Third Reich ?

According to a Decree published on November 14, 1935 (Verordnung zur Ausführung des Gesetzes über Titel, Orden und Ehrenzeichen vom 14.November 1935) that put into effect a Supplement to the Law regarding state awards of April 07, 1933, wearing of Bewährungsabzeichen der 3.Marinebrigade von Loewenfeld was prohibited. This decree covered most Freikorps badges and WWI commemorative medals. A few were allowed to be worn such as the Siliesian Eagle order

There's an interesting thread here: https://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/for...=538231&page=3 showing some of the "vanity" medal & ribbon bars that would have been axed after the new regulations. Lot of them left only with an ek2 and Hindenburg cross.
