This badge for remembrance of the Rekrutierung of the regiment 78 came into my hands

The material is a very thin metal,

The medal says on front: Wilhelm II. Deutscher Kaiser K?nig von Preussen

and on the back: Zur Erinnerung an meine Rekrutierung

Can anyone give me a date when were these used ?

Who issued them ? The regiment itself ?

Are they common ?

Kind regards

Robert

Robert,

Ostfriesische Inf.Rgt.Nr.78. Osnabr?ck. My wife's grandfather was in this regiment (1903-1905) and I collect things from it. I have a number of items that are similar to this, though mine are probably more veteran's pieces. I would think that this would have been privately purchased rather than issued or given out. The era would be 1890s through 1914.
