benten Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 This brooch is dated 1914. I presume that this brooch could be made as a result of the battle of Tannenberg?Any info is welcome.Cheers,Benten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 That is a really nice, well-made piece. Is it actually real silver? Any maker marks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benten Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Thank you Rick. The engraving technique reminds me of the engraving of banknotes.There is no mark, but I presume it is silver.If you compare the pictures here below, you see all the medals are there!! Possibly the photo served as example for the engraving? Perhaps a specialist can judge what date , when Von Hindenburg got these decorations. I think that my badge not necessarely is from 1914, could be later. Edited November 13, 2007 by benten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
