Jason Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Certainly a beautiful award!Not being "clued-up" on Bavarian awards, was there a gold award of this decoration as well? There is a gold one available locally, but I'm not sure if its an award piece or a wearers copy. Does anyone have any pics?thanks Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schießplatzmeister Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Hello Paddywack:That is an interesting piece that you are sharing with us.It is a non-issued, privately-made piece. It looks to be a "copy" made before 1945 for actual recipients of the medal. The die-variation is very interesting. A very nice quality piece.Congratulations, and thank you for showing this medal to us.Best regards,"SPM" Edited August 29, 2008 by Schie?platzmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
