Nick, I found this by Googling WW1WW2 German medals. The3 colours are the same, and  I think it is the ribbon sewn on the tunic when in action, and the medal is not being worn.

To neil1821.

Following your post, I looked at several other pictures of the Shanghai Municipal Council medal and found that some of them do not have gold edging on the ribbon. There is also a slight variation in the width of the colour bands on some ribbons. The image I found here was a good match for my ribbon bar:

So, my apologies to you, and thank you very much for identifying my medal ribbon bar!

Quack!

No problem Nick.
I can't say that there are no other possibilities anywhere in the world that may match, but that's the only one I can see that may reasonably have been awarded to a British recipient.
Up to you to figure out a possible recipient I suppose.  :)
