Looking good! I think this one even has an original ribbon which is quite uncommon!

A nice one! It also appears to have an original ribbon attached, which is a bonus. A lot of these medals have reproduction ribbons.

Regards, B.B.

Why do these medals have a reproductive ribbon?
I apologize if I did not understand correctly, but I use the google translation

A large amount of these medals were found without ribbons. So someone gave them fake ribbons as replacements. You are lucky that your medal hasn’t got a fake ribbon.

Have a look at this thread!
