censlenov Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Found the attached medal in a surplus store in lethbridge today. Can anyone tell me if this is perhaps a "real" medal as opposed to a fantasy piece? Hard to tell from the photo's but it is silver. If it is a real medal can anyone tell me what it is and give me a bit of background on it. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 If you Google the words (eg Reichsnährstand or Blut und Boden) on the medal, you will find a lot of information on the agricultural policies of the Third Reich. Probably a medal from the Ministry of Agriculture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
