pieter1012 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hi Jeff, this is the Dutch Rijksveldwacht Medaille, according to my dictionary Rijksveldwacht can be translated as Village Police. The medal was established in 1909 on occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Village Police, and was awarded for 25 year of faithful service. In 1941 the German occupation authority abolished the Rijksveldwacht and the medal was no longer awarded. Because of its short existence, it is seldom seen on the market. Hope this information is useful, Pieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
