There was also a gold version on a red ribbon with green edges. A private and unofficial decoration from the beginning of the Weimar period, awarded by Prinz Alfons Maria Franz Clemens Maximilian von Bayern to persons who had distinguished themselves in the service of the war veterans associations, (Krieger- und Militärvereine) and also shooting associations, Schützenvereine. The decoration was continuously awarded after the death of Prince Alfons in 1933. It was probably suppressed as from around 1936 till after 1945. Known to have been further awarded by the House of Wittelsbach till the late 1950s or early 1960s. Prinz Alfons was a General of Kavallerie and the honorary colonel in chief of various regiments, such as Dragoner-Regiment von Manteufel (Rheinisches) Nr.5.
