Kriegsverdienst Medaille (War Merit medal) help needed please!

[atobersalzberg]

Hi all,

I would like your opinions please on this War Merit medal and ribbon! Is it original?

I am not sure about the ribbon, without the red strip running down the middle? Also the ribbon is more orange than red?

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks,

Ribbon ok, its orange, because it most likely faded over time, same with the white color, that is no longer white, but creamy.

Its for a Kriegsverdienstkreuz, but a genuine one, thats what I had on my mind, sorry for misunderstanding.

As stated the wrong ribbon for the medal, but the early ribbons often faded down to orange from red so if you have a Kriegsverdienstkruez needing a ribbon it's job done. Leon.
