C.F. Zimmermann, Pforzheim

[demir]

Hello,

The seller claimed this medal's maker is C.F. Zimmermann from Pforzheim.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I found these two saved in my laptop : This one has a letter like 'Z'. 

And this one:

They all have a similar obverse design, with the heart-shaped lower part of the tughra protruding to the left and all with the same hollow-point pin close to the hinge.

 

Or the "Z" is Zeich, Berlin? While the other two are Zimmermann. Because, the tughra, date and pseudonym were attached with rivets. 

 

Best wishes

Hi Demir,

 

The first and third examples you are sharing here appear to be the same.  I have a Zimmerman 1914 EK1 with that same pin design.

Hello Jason,

Yes, you are right about the photos.

C.F. Zimmermann's name is not on the German medal makers list for WWI.

I think C.F. Zimmermann produced these medals before and during WWII until it was destroyed in an allied bombing raid in the early 1940s on Pforzheim. 

 

Thanks
