    It's the Felddienst-Auszeichnung, Baden's general service decoration. There were 18 possible bars for the medal:

    1805

    1806

    1806-1807

    1807

    1808-1813

    1809

    1809-1810

    1812

    1813

    1814

    1814-1815

    1815

    1848

    1849

    1866

    1870

    1870-1871

    1871

    That one has a good chocolate-y patina.

    The bars were not awarded until 1866, so the early ones are exremely rare, give to those handfull ex-soldiers in their late 70s at least ... :speechless1:

    In Baden, nice medals are actually possible to get, but really hard it's with nice old ribbons - and the bars, of course. I have by now none others than the common "1866" and "1870-1871", my father has as well the bit rarer "1870" and "1871" - no others, and we a r e looking for those ... :rolleyes:

    The medals were not awarded for any war later than 1870/71, neither for China and colonial campaigns nor for World War I.
