    Hi Lambert,

    It is mentioned in the (excellent) book on Verdun Medals by Thierry Silvert (2006) on p19. I have scanned in that page as well as the front cover of the book. It doesn't say anything about the rarity of this medal although I suspect it must be quite uncommon to find one.

    best wishes

    Rob

    Finally after many years of searching I managed to track down and buy a Steiner version of the medal 😏

    If any of you can get to the World Militaria Forum I put a thread on there with all the Verdun variants I have. If anyone is interested I will post some on GMIC too.

    There are a surprising number of different bars on the Verdun medals. In his book 'La Medaille de Verdun', 2006, Thierry Silvert lists 8 bars, which I have put in his order in the image below. I have also added two more modern (but different) bars, all from my collection. I can't speak for the rarity of each type here but type 3 was the one that took me longest to find. Please let me know if you have any other bars not listed here.
