Brian Wolfe Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hello All,Here are a couple more Imperial German Medals I have on approval. I have been told these two medal come from the Franco-Prussian War period. The medal on the right is marked in its edge with AUS EROBERTEM GESCHUETZ, any idea what this means? Are these copies or the real deal? Are the ribbons on these correct?CheersBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 If they are SILK and not modern replacements, the lefthand one has its correct ribbon. That is for Prussian suppresssion of the 1848/49 democratic uprising in Hohenzollern."From Captured Guns" indicates an original combatant 1870/71 campaign medal, but that's the wrong ribbon. The 1870/71 ribbon was later re-used for the WW1 Hindenburg croiss. What you have there is the generic most-awards ribbon of Oldenburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 It should be easy enough to replace the 70/71 medal ribbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
