Hello Gentlemen
Good day,

Please can someone tell me where this medal belongs?

Hello,

this cross belongs to the bavarian Red Cross between the two wars.

The ribbon is blue with two white stripes.

Lambert this is very much a guess but the cross looks quite similar to the obverse Bavarian Cross for Military Medical Volunteers with the exception of the Crown, possibly a Weimar period piece. I suspect that the German buffs will call me a dickkopf.

God I was right, Andreas beat me to it, there is hope for me yet.

Thanks Andreas and Paul

Yes, it was a lot of help, actually I did not know this variety of Red Cross Medal. I now have to evaluate better.

Can I then assume that it is not as common as well?

Hallo,

Looks Bavarian. Could it also be from Baden?

Hello Lambert,

this cross was given for 20 years of duty in the bavarian red cross. I have no numbers, bur this cross is not rare.

@ Paul you are not a "Dickkopf", your suspicion was right.
