    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

    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"

    Very nice gold awards. How many were issued/awarded? You don't ever see them for sale.

    Hello Dond:

    Opinions vary slightly according to various sources. According to H&S, for the last coinage, the numbers awarded were as follows:

    Gold/ Silver-gilt/ Silver

    1870-71: 133/ 0/ 612

    1914-18: 745/ 453/ 2,932

    Totals: 878/ 453/ 3,544

    Best regards,

    "SPM"
