Guest Rick Research Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 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!
