madness1313 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 I took this pic of the back of my medal I'm not sure if you can make out whats written there but it says ' KLEIST BERLIN ' and I believe underneath that it says 'FRUCKENSTRUM' but I'm not positive - its pretty worn. Does anyone know how I can find out more about this piece? I am very interested to know if the box came with it originally.I'd like to post more pics but every time I try to upload my photos it tells me theres not enough space.Thanks for the info!

Guest Rick Research Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 That's great-- not a maker of badges I ever saw before.Must be your SETTINGS. The size above would normally be about 12 KB at 150dpi, yet yours is almost 65 KB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev in Deva Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I doubt if somebody was to copy it they would have put a fake name on the rear.These were not official issue from a Government or State Military but, fromthe German Legion of Honour, a War Veterans Association and I believe probably givenfor service to the organisation but stand open to correction.This is more normally associated with them:with sword and wreath insignia on the ribbon for Combatant.Kevin in Deva.
