    Wurttemberg Golden Military medal


    Recommended Posts

    Hello Gents,

    after a visit in the "Staatsarchiv Stuttgart" her the accurate informations about the production of the golden bravery medals under the government of King Wilhelm II. of Wuerttemberg:

    1st type: GOLD 986/000 weight: 17,5 g without ribbonring and "?se", produced from 1892 - 1914

    206 pieces

    2nd type: GOLD 585/000 weight: 16 g without ribbonring and "?se", produced 1914 /1915

    313 pieces

    3rd type: GOLD 585/000 weight: 13 g without ribbonring and "?se", produced 1915

    288 pieces

    4th type: GOLD 333/000 weight: 13 g without ribbonring and "?se", produced 1915 - 1918

    3804 pieces - al these medals are marked "333" in the ?se

    IMPORTANT: you have to add to every golden medal 0,2 g for the ?se and 0,4 or 0,5 g for the ribbonring.

    so the absolutly minimum weight for a real gold medal is 13,6 g

    NOT one medal was manufactured in the Mint of Stuttgart in silver gilt or in bronze gilt !!!!!

    Best wishes

    Uwe (Bretzen)
