Troy Tempest Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Hello again gents, the only description that came with this was Ehrenkreuz des Kriegerverein SEHESTEDT v. 1891. Is this the correct name for this medal please? Thanks again!
Tom Y Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 I think Mitgliedskreuz (member's cross) might be a better name. From the date it appears to be a 20th anniversary of the Franco-Prussian War. Most towns had their own vets' organization apparently affiliated with a national group. More often than not you find these with the cross missing and when it's there it's usually stamped sheet metal rather than cast like yours. A nice find :cheers:
