Medal for the Participants in the Armed Struggle of the German Working Classes, 1918-23 / Medaille f?r die Teilnahme an den bewaffneten K?mpfen der deutschen Arbeiterklasse 1918-23

Already mentioned, in brief, over at http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3188...waffenden&st=21 but few details given.

Bartel 164a.

Established 15 August 1957 for those who fought against the Freicorps, Nazis, and other rightists in the early years of the Weimar Republic, when the political "shape" of the republic was still in contention.

While a number of specimens recently came up for auction, I have yet to acquire a fully-documented set. (Help . . . ??? )
