Found this picture ages ago and haven't ID'd it yet. So . . . anyone know what this medal is and what country it is from? I just think it is super pretty! Looks European, but might not be. I don't know. Hoping someone on here does! Thanks!

I think it mat be from the EU, maybe French. ?

It is the Croix de la Confédération Européenne des Anciens Combattants.

Thanks so much! I would never have found that one out! I really appreciate the help! Cool looking medal, that's for sure!

Funny thing with this medal is that it is found in WW2 medal groups of European military who fought at the Allied side and it is found in 1957 style WW2 German medal groups.

Also European veterans of post WW2 warlike actions carry this medal in their group. 

Even military who served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Bosnia are eligible.

 

It is only awarded upon request of the veteran, so it is therefore more or less regarded as a "fairyground" medal.
