Theodor Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 This is the 20 years medal. Just like the 10 years, it is not that difficult to find, but most often less the box. This one is complete: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 "not that difficult to find"Oh sure-- where YOU live! I've never seen one before-- where I live. It's MUCH in color than in black and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodor Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 That's right, the location may have a little significance However another reason is the value - for some reason, I never see these under 200 - 300 $, without the box! Crazy, IMO, but holds that level! Here is its son, though it has no box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodor Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) complex construction, lots of bits joined together! Edited June 2, 2009 by Theodor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yup-- I have a Military Merit Order-Knightwith Crown like that-- two hollow halves somehow enamelled and stuck together. Such awesomely beautiful enamel-- and such usually ICKY metal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodor Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Many medals are hollow, made of halves - but this one is a jeweller's nightmare Each arm is made of two parts, then the 4 two-part arms are attached to a central cylinder part, then the two medallions are put at each side of the central cylinder, not to mention the parts of the medallions, or the tiny wreath with the XX and the rings.... So much work for something, that could be cast or pressed in a single piece :cheers: Edited June 2, 2009 by Theodor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
