Is there a proper term for the ribbon rather than cord variety of suspension on a badge?
A cursory look at heraldic sites furnished the following information that my badge would be described as a bugle stringed (not 'strung') and garnished. No difference whether cord or ribbon, but I must admit my search was not exhaustive. In fact, I omitted the important factor of the Tassels!
