Landwehr dienst auszeichnung question....

[Chris Boonzaier]

A 1930s bar to an officer has a blue ribbon and is missing its medal. He recieved the Prussian Landwehr Dienstauszeichnung 2nd class in 1910.

What version of the award would he probably have had on it?

 

Thanks

Chris

like this?

Would he not have converted to the medal in 1913?

According to Dr Von Hessenthal Schriebers' book on Honours and Awards of the German States he could convert to the new medal (4 July 1913) at his own cost.

"Diejenigen Personen, denen das Ehrenzeichen bis dahin schon verliehen worden war, konnten es in der neuen Form auf eigene Kosten beschaffen und anlegen."
