    Distinguished Reformer? - When I read the regulations on pg 75 its more like "Excellent Innovator" - or for someone who made an invention or for those who figured out a better process in industry, chemistry, manufacturing, etc... Distinguished Reformer sounds like Martin Luther or Karl Marxx???

    Who can tell me what it is and now this medal price?

    Sorry - had missed the part on the price we got so tied up with the name... but a fair Ebay price would be in the $25-30 range as its a complete set - add a few more for a carrying document and if there was a full size document then add another $10 or so.

    The best translation seems to be "excellent innovator".

    The badge is not a worthy one in my opinion. Here in Hungary you can get them for about 6 to 15 USD, though they couldn't be that common. (You had to do something more than the average for getting them, and doing something extra was not a common habit - as it isn't these days) The badge had three grades; I have one in gold and one in bronze (as I remember) with miniatures and cases, from my grandpa.

    The one above seems to be a silver one with the silver cover lost (or is it just me?).

    Ulsterman,

    In the book Richard S refers to it says there are Gold, Silver and Bronze classes to this award. I have seen a number of silver ones in Flea Markets but don't remember seeing any other grades. I'll have to look this weekend.

    Chris,

    Very nice and thanks for posting them. It looks as though the bronze one is in an earlier wooden case and the gold one in plastic case. True? Do the cases have a design showing the badge on the outside of the top?

    Regards,

    Gordon
