redeagleorder Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Does any one have an example of a Lippe Detmold Military Merit Medal with a mark under the wreath on the side displaying the rose. On an example that i have found for sale by emedals there is a mark which i can't make out completely clearly, but seems to read G. LOOSDIR. Is this a common mark or something personalised? Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagleorder Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Update: I also found this mark on an arts and science medal from anhalt, but also on a couple of a coins?! Could anyone please help me figure out if the mark belongs to the above medal, as i know it is rare, with less than 2000 issued. Thanks a lot.
