Bronzemonger Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 A newbie here.... Perhaps this is a silly question but I need an answer in order to catalog several dozen large Austrian KFA commemorative medallions. Can someone please tell me what the acronym "KFA" stands for? Perhaps also point me in the direction where I can find more info? Thanks, in advance. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 KFA = Kriegs Fürsorge Amt - War Welfare Office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzemonger Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks Ian. This would make sense as these 'art medals' were created and sold to assist in many aspects of the war, be it the war effort itself or, help for hosptals, veterans, prisoners of war, etc.. I had been thinking it was an internal military organization, thanks for the clarification!! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
