    This one is a recent addition from Tony. A Prussian Landwehr but I don't know what period of service it represents. Maybe Tony can help me out.

    Bob,

    I think this is one (probably the second) of two types of Prussian 3rd class award issued between 1825 and 1913 for 9 years of service in the regular army. The Landwehr version is similar, but not the same.

    Like the second (silver for 12 years) and third (gold for 15 years) classes, this style of award was replaced by the round medals (9 and 12 years service) and crosses (15 years service) that are more commonly seen on medal bars from 1913 until 1920.

    Christian shows the second class award in post #4 and Tom shows all three classes in post #7 together with a Landwehr award (centre right).
