Well, well, well.... here's a rare one you don't see often enough. Photo courtesy of Helmut Weitze.

The same medal was used for '14-'18, only with swords instead of sabres on the ribbon. I've been hunting for a pair of the sabres for years.

Hello,

the 14-18 with crossed swords does not look exactly the same. It is not that thick and the ring is fixed in a more common way by soldering. Sorry but I do not find the right words to describe it precisely.

N.B.: If someone wants to get rid of a 1870/71 medal - I would love to reunificate it with its 1914/18 brother...
