The Friedrich August Cross is a black magnetic cross with the crowned cypher of the Grand Duke and the date 1914, circled with laurel leaves. The reverse is blank.
The medal has a ribbon in red and blue, the colors of Oldenburg.
The Sedan bar was a for service at the battle of Sedan during
Franco-Prussian War. (note the bar is loose on one side and the blue of the ribbon have faded -but the blue can be seen under the bar)
FRANCO PRUSSIAN WAR COMBATANT MEDAL

The Franco-Prussian War Combatant’s Medals were produced from captured French cannons’ melted bronze. They had etchings on their edges stating the fact. The practice began in the Napoleonic Wars.
