<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 190512, member: 44"]It seems "die neuner Jäger" translates to "the nine hunters. I'm not sure what "Vivant" in German translates. In French "Vivant" means something like "living." I suspect in the context on these ribbons it may??? mean something like "long live??" The printer was Druck Alb Berger of Wien (Vienna). Like others have suggested a recruiting item dating from WWI.
