Saxe Altenburg Bravery Medal

[joemiller]

One book that I have on Saxe-Altenburg indicates that approximately 15,000 Bravery Medals were issued. That Bravery Medal was minted in several different types of metal after its original founding in 1915. The first was bronze, the next was a bronzed war metal, and the last was in zinc. On Ebay there is a bronze Bravery Medal and the seller writes that only 550 of those bronze ones were issued. If that's the case then while the Bravery Medal was fairly common, the Bronze early war version should be quite valuable if there were only 550 out of 15,000. Can anyone confirm that this is the case?

I read this or a similar number of real Bronce ones yet some times, but they seem to be much to common offered for such a little amount.

I don't believe(!) they're that rare, but I don't know ...
