Awarded the 27 septmber 1939 (soldbuch entry).

Even LESS often do we get to see THE medal bar actually being worn in a photo of the recipient.

Is this the type with the Berlin Mint markings on the rim?

An incredibly RARE medal to see as a REAL one, and not one of the millions of fakes!

[Bob Hunter]

Very nice pair and unusual conversation piece.

A pleasure to share here this rare medaille.

It's one Geissler's group part, as often, the group is not totally complete, but he come with many docs, soldbuch, letters, photos albums, personnel items, cap, wimpels... more pictures later.

I can only echo Gerds' response Michel - FANTASTIC grouping!! Refreshing to see one so intact and unplayed with, with such a rare medal to boot! Congrats!!
