redeagleorder Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 War Merit Medal from Lippe-Detmold. A total of 1708 were issued (or thereabouts) , but since it is a home front medal it is one of those awards which is actually rarer on the combatant ribbon, like the one shown. Normally i wouldn't set much stock in a loose medal, but in thise case the ribbon is sewn to the medal loop, not passed through it, and the ribbon is ripped in half. It was probably on a medal bar and ripped off . A total of 459 were issued on the combatant ribbon. Matthew PS: sorry for the bad reverse picture. if anyone wants i can try post a better one tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 ...ready for an unknown rarity? It looks ugly, but it is ultra-rare...war merit cross Lippe-Detmool in zinc (only around 50 crosses out of 21.000 crosses in total were produced in zinc)...

spolei Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think this one counts with about 175 awards. Hello, your cross is a fake. That was a third class of Leser MVK . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hey Westfale, just how scarce are the long service pendants? I have one on a bar, but that's the only mounted one I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI VtwinVice, Me too - I have seen some others in a german forum where someone asked bout them, and there were seen also a "normal" one of the landwehr. During all the time I am interested in such bars there were only a few seen in catalogues like thies etc., but mot in real - so I think they are scare!

I have never seen this kind of miniatures on pictures, are they all silver marked ? Hi spolei, yes, thea are all silver marked; two with "900" and the one with the other silver-stamps with "800". the last one - landwehr - must be made after 1888, which was the first year of marking silver with moon and crown! And yes, they are the miniatures of the badges worn before 1913 - thanks for like them, too! westfale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixhs Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I could trade this nice one with a collector`s friend. There are not many non comb. bars of an reactivated 1866 veteran with RAO4 "50" and EK2 out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
