the War Merit Medal (German: Kriegsverdienstmedaille), set up in 1940 for civilians in order to offset the large number of 2nd class without swords being awarded. It was usually given to those workers in factories who significantly exceeded work quotas.

One of my favourite single medal bars.Somone just took their

medal and put on a ribbon bar.Still nice

No, not Austrian, just the normal parade mount style of the day. Bluegrey cloth probably for a Luftwaffe recipient.

It is the Prussian Parade Mount that came into use post WW1. It is characterised by the use of the Bogenband. The Bogenband is suspension ribbon that is arched at the bottom to form a “U”-shape.  Nice one.
