VtwinVince Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have a document dated 1897 in Berlin for the Wedding Anniversary Medal. I've never seen one before, so if anyone could provide information or a photo of this thing, it would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avadski Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Only one that comes to my mind was the Karl-Olga medal introduced in 1889 for services in the Red Cross organization. As far as I remember both Karl I. and his wife were depicted on the medal but i'm not sure whether there was some text mentioning their wedding.

VtwinVince Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 This document mentions the recipient, Oberstabsarzt a.D. Dr. Behrens, has been married for 50 years and is being awarded the "Ehejubilaeums-Medaille". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avadski Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Ah, then it could any of the medals awarded for wedding given in that period. I know that for example Prussia has its own medal, here for example is how the ribbon for such a medal looked like in Saxe-Coburg-Gotha... Your only clue is Berlin...maybe some of the other forumites would be able to provide more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 The document is for this medal, given to his, not a ruler's jubilee! The medal is quite common, cased ones are rarer and I have hardly ever seen the document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 Thanks Sascha, that's the one I thought it was. I bought the document because it was awarded to an Oberstabsarzt a. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
