Lambert 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 Scan2023-01-09_182155.pdf Scan2023-01-09_182314.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumserbrown Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 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. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumserbrown Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
