medalnet Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Ok, ok, not quite the Pour le Merite, but in its time probably the highest bravery award that there was. The Military Honor Medal 1st class! A piece from before 1900 with the proper AW mark. I have a little write up on my web page: www.medalnet.net The piece itself is listed here: http://cgi.ebay.de/Orden-Militaer-Ehrenzeichen-1-Kl-Preussen-Ausgabe-1864_W0QQitemZ250605140639QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMilitaria?hash=item3a593afa9f Amazing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medalnet Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 I am honestly not that into medals (more into decorations) but this one due to it's special status is quite a fun one! I have not seen many on medal bars either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) A German dealer (CB) has also one for sale right now (Eur 1'500.-)... it's not a bit strange that such rare as hen's teeth decorations are beginning to pup up everywhere? Just a thought. Edited April 2, 2010 by Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
