Eric Stahlhut Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 i haven't noticed a thread pertaining to these weimar-era awards, so i figured i'd start one in hopes that other members will add images of the various levels of these awards. as far as i know, there were several classes:1st2nd (pinback)2nd (on ribbon)3rd10-year (same as 3rd, but with 10 on lower arm)here's a pinback 2nd class: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Yes PLEASE! And anybody with these from OTHER German states, please start a new thread for each different one (Bavarian, Westphalian, or whatever)...these often show up on ribbon bars to us.

Eric Stahlhut Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 here's my latest addition. i was previously unaware of this service level. here's a 25-year 2nd class pinback from the 40s. note the rather shoddy enamel quality when compared to the earlier examples. also, the material is silvered brass instead of silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) i am very pleased to add this piece to my collection. it appears to be the first class honor cross. heavily vaulted and made of gilded bronze with a silver or white metal pin (gilding is still present on back of pin) does anyone know how many of these were awarded? http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2013/post-4736-0-40694900-1364658863.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2013/post-4736-0-77078400-1364658890.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2013/post-4736-0-70161200-1364658909.jpg Edited March 30, 2013 by Eric Stahlhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 here's another example. not sure if this is an award grade, or a reduced size for wear on a medal bar. measures 38mm -- rick l. had period pictures of this type in wear. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_09_2013/post-4736-0-22498300-1379786379.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_09_2013/post-4736-0-60528900-1379786409.jpg here is what the proper ribbon should look like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) i originally posted this one on march 30, 2013 but the images have since been "lost"... ...so today, as i've established just exactly what it is, i'm reposting it... ...it's the 1st form---made in 1925 by godet--and at the very most, only 10 to 15 examples were presumably awarded!!! rarity factor: RRR oh happy day Edited September 2, 2020 by Eric Stahlhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
