another interesting one:

[Paul C]

Nice and rare. I remember you having those.

[Uffz. Rohleder]

Nice! I never saw a cased one!

 

 

[Stogieman]

One more cased one

[Uffz. Rohleder]

Nice! Were they buyed in cases or are those presentation pieces?

[Stogieman]

I honestly don't know. I had two in similar cases and then the one presentation piece. The one in the envelope was actually a Prinzen and heavily gilded.

[CRBeery]

Here is mine.

[Stogieman]

very nice indeed!

I already posted this to Minis thread, but maybe it belongs here as well. Centenary rosette by Godet.

The only unusual Centennial I have is the prinzen on this 1870 Lippe bar.

[Stogieman]

Very nice and unusual!

(SWEET medal bar!)

[Solomon]

Very nice bar

Do you also have a name?

The best I have been able to come up with is an NCO from the 3rd Battl. of the 55th IR.

I rather prefer a Gendarm Friedrich Koch....but that name makes it impossible to trace the IC 1870, as there are several Friedrich Koch listed.

The SVK and 1897 medal match already.

I'm 99 % sure all cases for this medal, at least all shown here, had to be privately purchased.

I have never seen something that looked official to me, and I never heard about such medals being awarded cased.
