Jason Posted August 28, 2008 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

Ulsterman Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 wow1Just-wow.I remember that bar. I think Stogie outbid me way back in the day. Still, in those days it was cheap compared to now.

Schießplatzmeister Posted August 29, 2008 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
