Henke Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Somehow I dont think this seller really knew what he was offering http://www.tradera.com/LITEN_SILVERMEDALJ_...uktion-46494858 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hello Henke,Feel free to explain to those that don't know (like me) what the medal is : name, criteria for its award, etc. etc. It looks as if it's connected to the Swedish Royal Order of the Sword but I guess there's more to it ... lifesaving perhaps ???Cheers,Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hello Henke,If this is a genuine "For bravery in the field" medal, I think it's quite valuable Is this (16 mm) the normal size of these medals? It seems a bit small-ish.../Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Only 40 individuals were awarded this scarce decoration between 1814 and 1915, 33 in gold and 7 in silver. As stated in the link, the size of the normal medal is 31mm.cheersPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
