Tony Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Don't know what it is but it looks nice.Was there ever a suspender attached? I'm just wondering if it was some kind of commemorative coin.Tony Edited February 13, 2008 by Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taucher Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey Tony,there whas nothing attached to it (not that i know of)I bought it like it is.I have the same idee about it being a commemorative coin.It is WWI and i bought it because of my interest in the German WWI navy but i have neverseen one like it before.GrusseVince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gregory Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Perhaps it is a Jutland commemorative.Edit: I thought the marks might have been symbolic smoke on the site of the battle. On closer inspection, it just looks as thought it has been knocked about badly.Whatever it is, I like it, too.

taucher Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Your right,it has been knocked about badly.If it where Jutland i think it whouth been ingraved in it don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hello taucher,I would concur that this is a WWI era commemorative naval medal and that Jutland is a good guess. I notice that in the picture in post #2 that there appears to be a point of land and a lighthouse. No doubt this has a significance which may provide the answer.Best wishes,Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this itemcommemorates a foreign tour like TR's "Great White Fleet" PR campaignof 1907. I really do believe this item is older than you think.

Naxos Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It appears more like a coin that has been modified than a medal.Hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesley Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Maybe not a coin, but perhaps a medallion.As for the ship, it looks very much like apre-dreadnought of the Brandenburg Class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
