Unknown german commemorativ coin/prize

[Bombarder]

Hello

I have this lot with german/american insignia and coins.

And im curious about the silver coin with german text. "Dem Sieger" on one side and "Die Landeshauptstadt Wiesbaden" there is no marking or year on it.

A mommemorativ coin for US forces after WW2? Or maybe it is a shootingaward or something?

I think US Army was well represented in Wiesbaden.

 

Thankful for any help here!

Hi,

 

the German seams to be a civil sport award, usually given once a year in a big ceremony to all successful sportsmen/-women of a town for the last year/season.

Rottweil: Ehrung für vielfältige sportliche Leistungen - NRWZ.de from the town I live.

Many thanks for your help!

Shame there is no dating on this one

It would be too expensive to make every year a new sports medaille.

you know the first badge?

You mean the Civilian Labor Group pin?
I wonder if there is somekind of complete list of servicenumber and name?

Bombarder,

I have never heard of a list of names for these badges but it would certainly be interesting if there was one.

Regards,

Gordon

Many thanks Gordon!

 

Shame, low number on mine so i guess it was awarded early 1950-ies?

Hi Bombarder,

"... so i guess it was awarded early 1950-ies?"

There existed different organizations with their own numbering. And these badges had been awarded for one year or for three years of excellent service. For a correct date you need the associated document.

Thanks for the info Uwe, so this one could be from late 70-ies or whenever?

It could be from the late 50s to the early 70s.
