sftrooper86 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Greetings all, I am looking for a photo of the rim inscription on some of these bronze Prussian Campaign Medals which states" Aus erobertem Geschutz". Are these around? Anyone have one for sale? Many thanks, Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompress Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Here please two examples of the rim inscription greetings Tomasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sftrooper86 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Thank you very much. The one medal of this type I have does not have the inscription around its rim. I am told it is a jewelers copy as used on medal bars. Does this make sense to you? Thanks again, Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompress Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Yes, so called Zweitstücke (private purchased second pieces) without inscription are known. They were used for medal bars or as replacement for lost or damaged medal. regards Tomasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Tom is right, and there are numerous variations in the jeweler pieces, and a subculture of collectors who like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
