No... I have a relative who earned one of those for marksmanship from the West German Army when she was stationed there, and as I recall the rope wasn’t blue, it looked more like gray, and the badge was antique gold/brass and had a German eagle on it. I think it was called a Schutzensnier [sp?] and she was allowed to wear it on her US uniform.
