Stefan Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Hello!Can anyone help me out with this one?I've asked for better pictures...Cheers, Stefan
Stogieman Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Pinback Johaniter's Order. Unusual in that most (but not all) of the pinback crosses are usually enameled.
Guest Rick Research Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 The reverse will certainly help with possible national origin.Could be a St John or Malta from a number of European countries, or something regimental/"Freikorps" out of the Russian Civil War.
Stefan Posted May 17, 2006 Author Posted May 17, 2006 Thanks guys! I hope to get better pictures soon.../Stefan
Stefan Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 Here are some better pictures.I think I've seen it on some German uniform - could it be a Freikorps medal as Rick says?Cheers, Stefan
Stefan Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 I almost forgot...Stamped on back is GODET BERLIN and number 938.938 must be the silver?/Stefan

Kev in Deva Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 No, that's black enamel.Hallo Rick, Black enamel is clearly visible in the picture used, but in the description in the book for item number: 3387. it states what I wrote above, strangely there is no mention of black enamel (was J?rg having a bad hair day??) Kevin.PS maybe Stefan piece has had all the enamel removed??

Stogieman Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 938 is not silver gilt. There is no sesignation for gilt. Only for silver content
