    In 1910 he would´ve been awarded the brooch version, the medal version of the 2nd class was only introduced in july 1913. 

    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 ?

    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?

    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

    Very nice indeed! A side collection?

    I wonder if the pinback was for Civilian wear? It looks to be a jeweller alteration?

    never figured out if they were sweetheart (the luxembourg oak crown is engraved to a guy) or for civilian wear of some sort, but here's some more of my 'side collection'....the hanseatic is a beaut

    p.s. sorry for going off topic, after viewing you may return to the regular programming...:)
