Chris Boonzaier Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hi, Thanks! If an officer got the II Class Prussian landwehr Dienstauszeichnung in 1910, the 2nd one you have shown is what he would have had on his bar right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 In 1910 he would´ve been awarded the brooch version, the medal version of the 2nd class was only introduced in july 1913. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, was there a swap? i.e. when the medal was introduced, did officers trade the brooch for a medal? The medal bar in Question is from the 1930s with Ehrenkreuz, and I cannot remember seeing bars with brooches that late ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I don´t know, if they received the new version for free or if they had to buy the medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi, I would guess they had to buy it, but you think they did in fact change them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odulf Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 An interesting award document of the Landwehr-Dienstauszeichnung II. Klasse, presented 25 Januar 1902 to an Obermatrose der Landwehr I. Aufgeboth, by the Königlichen 55. Infanterie-Brigade. Remarkable, a Navy sailor received the Landwehr Clasp via an Infantry Brigade.... Would he have received the Baden Clasp?

chuck Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi Andreas I read von Hessenthals' book on the difference in lettering on the reverse. Still a little confused as the Prussian LandWehr II classes that i see on the dealers sites don't necessarily match the book. I learned something new which is always good. Thanks, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
