Guest Rick Research Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Very interesting. That appears to be a silvered brass Schwarzburg medal, making it either a rather scarce transitional model (the brass was needed for artillery shells so they went quickly from that to zink after abandoning silver) or it is a post-1918 Spangenstück. The combination suggests two possibilities: 1) Navy/Marines and someone from Schwarzburg decorated by Oldenburg 2) 10th Ersatz Infantry Division. Its Brigade Ersatz Battalions of 1914 remained mixed composite units after being made into regiments later in the war. There is always the potential that SOME DAY Oldenburg and Schwarzburg award rolls may be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
