Yes of course, very easy to replace a ribbon. Should cost a couple of ££ at most.
Look on ebay or just google medal ribbons for sale or something similar.

Good evening noxas,

Try this one, very good; http://www.worldmedals.co.uk/Rib/Britrib/britribb.htm

PS Looks like £1-00 for 6 inches of ribbon, he probably mounts them as well for a small fee.

Hi Diarmuid

If you have only lost one ribbon from a set I would not get a cheap replacement. The originals were silk and a modern one will look odd next to a silk one. Either get modern replacements for the whole set, or wait until you can find a original silk one on Ebay.
