These Wehrmacht Verdienstorden are original and the ribbon is OK and normal. The silver plating is very thin and is often more worn than yours, which are nice. These arent a rare medal. In the 60s I saw a few at the Mainzer Flohmarkt, but they werent as common as the EKII and 1914-18 medal. (That last was given to over 3 million recipients and was so common I even found one at the DUMP outside Mainz! )

Narrow ribbons were used for ribbon bars for example. It's possible the medal and piece of narrow ribbon could have been married up since the war. Everything I see here is original.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
