COMPLETED - Can you identify this medal ribbon bar, please?

[Nick The Duck]

Hello 

Please can someone help identify this medal ribbon bar. I would like to know if it is English or German (or other). I would like to know what medal it goes with.

It is 50mm long (2 inches) and 12mm wide (half an inch).

Hope someone can help.

King regards,

Nick The Duck

Don't know it, but the colours have a look of WW1 Germany to me.

[Nick The Duck]

Thanks, redroger. Perhaps I should put a post on the WW1 forum?

[Redroger]

Yes I would try that Nick, perhaps to be more specific I think they are the colours of the flag of the Imperial GErman Navy.

Thanks, Redroger, I have put this post on the WW1 forum as well. (I hope the administrator will forgive me for having two similar posts!)

I can't immediately see any match among British or German medals.
The nearest I can find is the Shanghai Municipal Council Emergency Medal from 1937

Any Shanghai connections?!

[Nick The Duck]

Thanks neil1821.  I don't have any Shanghai connections! 

I've looked at the link and the medal ribbon is close but not exact (so no cigar for you!). The Shanghai medal ribbon has gold edging which my medal ribbon bar lacks. Also, the Shanghai medal ribbon stripes are exactly equal width, whereas my medal ribbon bar has two red bands that are slightly wider than the central beige band.

Thank you for trying, I very much appreciate it.

Try Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, WW2

[Nick The Duck]

Hello Redroger. I've done some research about the ribbon for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (WW2) and it is quite different from mine. It has a red central stripe, then beige bands either side, and then black bands on the edge. Is there more than one ribbon for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross?
