If you are interested in research and finding the approximate date of awarding, the I suggest purchasing a copy of "Echoes of War". It is avaiable at most supermarkets, news stands and here in the forum. If you are lucky, the actual author might sign it for you but i'm not sure.

So would you replace the ribbon or leave the suspension "au natural"? (Not that I have anything with a serial number anywhere that low)

I think I'd get a cheap red ribbon and mount it very....lightly/cheaply, just to see how it looked. If ugly then au natural as you say.
A very nice and early BM missing two(?) parts, the tiny nut and the suspension plate.

So all of you think that it is good ?
If yes - what price should I expect for this one ?
