The second class has the same shape of the first, but is smaller (4 cm. in diameter). The upper ray of the star ends in an eyelet with a ring through on which the ribbon was suspended. The ribbon is 3 cm. wide, and its color and presence (or absence) of stripes indicate the grade of the award.

	Gold class: green with two 3 mm. red stripes at 2 mm. from the edges.
	Silver class: a darker green with two 3 mm. white stripes at 2 mm. from the edges.
	Bronze class: even darker green without stripes.

Gold class for bravery Silver class for merit Bronze class for merit

In the above images we see a leaf on the ribbon of the Gold class that is scarcely found. The meaning of it to me is unknow, but it looks like the leafs present between the central rosette and the rays of the star.
The ribbon was to be worn as that of the Iron Cross 2nd class (diagonally from the second buttonhole), but when more than one grade was awarded it is always seen in avalaible photographs all medals are seen to be worn as a mounted set on the left side of the chest.

Ribbon bars often show small crossed swords to indicate that the medal was awarded for bravery.
The obverse has no inscription or markings, showing the sunken central part corresponding to the central rosette. It seems it was designed to save as much materials as possible!

Obverse 2nd class

We find in David Littlejohn's Foreign legions of the Third Reich, v. 4, p. 349-350, the description of different ribbons sometimes know (wrongly) as Vlasov ribbon. I haven't seen any of them and the author of the book believes they were only experimental, never used, ones. These ribbons are 26 mm. wide with a 1,5 mm. central stripe. Here is the description Mr. Littlejohn's gaves of them:

Gold class: light yellow with a narrow red central stripe.

Silver class: grass green with a narrow dark blue central stripe.

Lime green with a narrow light blue central stripe.
