    Bayerischen Infanterie-Leib-Regiments Medal


    Recommended Posts

    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.

    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
