Megan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Artur-Becker-Medaille Instituted in 1960 and awarded to members of the FDJ for exemplary service. It was the organisation's highest award, and came in 3 classes (Gold, Silver and Bronze). Like many such awards, it came in 2 types: the first with a metal/enamel suspension, the second with a cloth-covered one. 1st Type, Gold Medal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megan Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Very nice, Kevin, thank you for sharing. Any chance you'd be prepared to let me use the pictures on my site? (Especially the reverse...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytop Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hi, this is the first type in gold of an Artur-Becker-Medaille: Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Does this mean that there are THREE types, rather than two? As in: - #1: Metal/enamel suspension with stripes on. #2: Plain metal/enamel suspension. #3: Cloth-covered suspension. Had noticed while researching that some of the metal/enamel ones had stripes & some not, but nobody (mostly sales sites) had dated them. Anyone know the dates? And, lovely pictures, Kevin. Thank you very much :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hi Megan, there are 4 types. But for that you need the catalogues from Frank Bartel. The first type had been awarded from 1960 to 1971. Only the first type had a metal suspension. The suspension from Post 1 must be (is) a suspension for a Bronze medal. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
