Zollgrenzschutz Ehrenzeichen? customs service medal

[Sken666]

Hello,

I want to start collecting German ww2 medals which I know is a minefield can anyone reccommend a good reference book? I've been lucky enough to have been given some to start my collection. So the journey begins

This one, I think is a Zollgrenzschutz Ehrenzeichen but to me the ribbon is wrong? I think the medal looks correct to me but im still a newbie on medals. The width is 43mm

thanks for looking

The ribbon belongs to a WWI iron cross second class for non-combatants.
