Oldenburg FA

Hi, what’s your opinion on this screw back award.

Seems ok to me. IMO a post 1918 possibly unmarked Meybauer.

Thanks, I’m sure someone here knows the maker based on the characteristics.  I’m not a screw back award expert.  My. Main reason for searching out an example is to display on an M16 Bavarian bluse.

What’s the third hole for below the Fak?

[Giannis S.]

To me it looks like a second hole for a pinback medal.

[ccj]

The tunic has three sewn holes for badges. I assume in order to screw back awards. I believe most often the holes were for screwback awards, and sewn loops were for pin back.

 

[Giannis S.]

If so, the third hole does not provide room for another award. 

[ccj]

One hole is for a single post award and the lower was intended for a 2 post award as evidence by the staining and imprint inside on the lining it appears this officer may have worn a wound badge with dual screw post or another award with a dual screw post that also had an oval back plate. I have the advantage of knowing what it looks like inside the lining.  

I don’t have such a badge collection, so why decided on a screw back FA.
