    Can someone explain the significance of this medal and the period in which it was bestowed? Was it postwar? I don't recall ever seeing one on a medal or ribbon bar.

    I've always admired the look of this seldom seen medal and would like to learn more.

    Thanks in advance.

    I like these for the obvious Alpenkorps connection, but have not been able to figure out just exactly who got them. I think maybe it was given to their Austrian comrades. An unofficial keepsake.

    Thanks for your input, Chris. You had helped out on a similar question I had about these a few years back, but I couldn't find the thread.

    So as an unofficial decoration, we wouldn't see these on an Austrian medal or ribbon bar?

    Happy New Year :cheers:

    Gentlemen,

    I too would like to know the derivation of this medal. I have a deathcard and medals to a gentleman from the Bavarian Leib Regiment that was KIA ('Gefallen') on 30 April 1918. I would like to know how one came by this medal originally.

    All the best,

    Jay Stone
