It's an unusual, but highly desirable variant to find on medal bar.
I bet that the medal bar was awesome!!

What is this medal awarded for? What makes it so desired that it is so very accurately reproduced in this manner? Is it like an equivalent to the Order of Lenin, with the VM order akin to the Hero Star?

It's von Trotha, a man whom my grandmother knew later in life.

What an awesome bar. He must've been a really old man by then! At least 62 (unless he entered illegally at a younger age) at the onset of WW1! What is that second medal?

Hi Peter,
I hope that you are doing well. Do you think your friends would come here to post their collections for discussion? I'd love to see what they have.

That is cool! I cant wait to see the results. It looks like some strong anti-Israeli sentiment in there!
