A coworker's son has them, don't know where he picked them up...I believe they were his grandfather's when he served in the German Army, but they do not know what they are or for what they are given. I'd oike to be able to let him and his family know a little information....anything is appreciated.

Thanks very much

Reverse....I think....

The coin or Table-Medal are from around 1920 very early, nasty racist propaganda against the French black colonial troops who were stationed as occupation troops, but also against the fact that Germany was occupied.

On this one, depicted on the roof of the house to the right can clearly be seen the words "LUST HAUS FUR NIGER" which would indicate a brothel for black troops. They are also depicted as raping the flower of German maidenhood.

This is the first time I have seem this particular type, but a more common type offered frequently on ebay, shows the Adrian helmeted head of a Negro Colonial Soldier on one-side, and a young teenage German girl shackled to a large phalus.

The bayonet appears to be a parade version due to the "stag horn" handle.

Thanks Laurence....appreciate it

Does the wording have any significance?

The motto reads, "In Memory Of My Service Time". Apparently it's quite a common etch. Here's the same one on one of my bayonets:
