Mike Dunn Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Here are two different Austrian table type items. Both have felt on their backs. I assume that they are a table medal of some sort. Would love to hear your thoughts on these! I first thought they might be tinnies but was surprised to see no pinback and the felt. Your comments would be most welcome. Mike First is a 100 year medal--1816-1916. It is 3 x 2 1/2 inches in size and is bronze in color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hi Mike, looks like someone mounted them as a set, probably originally individual pieces, right? Pretty neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dunn Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Here is the other one. Super looking medal that reads "Ionzo-Armee 1915" As stated before-Any comments would be greatly welcomed! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hi Mike, I've seen the second one as a definite cap badge before. Maybe your initial thought on the first "one" was right!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dunn Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Thanks Stogie-The first one is one piece, while from the front it looks like a three piece set, when looking at the side it is all one piece, no seams. The second one is 1 3/4 x 2 3/4 inches in size. I would think that it is to big to be a hat badge. They look veteran related but not sure. Can't feel any pin mounts or anything else through the felt.

Chip Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Mike,That size is too large for a cap badge. The Isonzo-Armee piece is very common. I have a cap badge size version. Yours might have been made as paper weight. Does it have any heft to it?These designs were used for various purposes and were made in more than one size. There are miniture versions and I have one that is approximately 4"X4" that was made as a wall plaque and which I have also seen in the cap badge size.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dunn Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 That is interesting Rick! What did it sell for at the auction? As I said above, these are to big for cap badges and I think they were desk decoration and or paper weights. They are interesting pieces.
