    Here's a recent arrival at Chez Madman. A nice Colonial bar. We'll never know whose it was, but we can pin the dates of his service down exactly. With no Centenärmedaile he had to have joined after 1897, but with the 15 year LD and no WWI gongs he was either out or started a new bar for the war. A 15 year span would make it 1898 to 1913.

    Along with it, although as far as I know not related, came this China medal.

    I hope I'm now ready for the minefield of clasps :unsure:

    The usual vets' associations were formed with their distinctive decorations. The Deutscher-Kolonial-Krieger-Band issued this Löwen Orden in bronze, in silver as a pin back, and gold, silver, and bronze as table medals.

    and the Weimar government came up with this Elefant Orden, 8,000 of which were awardedhttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_05_2010/post-252-12752250279.jpg.

    And a vet could buy this understated little stickpin, too.

    or a mini for his Kette.

    Below is a nice pic of the elephant order in wear. This person was in southeast Africa and spent most of the war as a POW. He return home and lived in Hamburg.
