Bryan Poon Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi AllI search the web and found that the price range of Lifesaving Medal: Prussian M1833-1918 is very large. I found a deal ask for 160 euro for one but I found another one ask for 450 euro for one. Could anyone tell me why did they have such large different in price?ThanksBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Given that this medal was awarded for lifesaving at the risk of the recipient's own life, it has always been undervalued-- probably because it is so PUNY looking. I would look for one on a medal bar or with its award document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 If you search on "lifesaving" on the top of main page (for the whole website-- some may be in a Third Reich section or under Individual Research etc etc) the various threads where we've shown what we have will come up.
