Chuck In Oregon Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Actually, I think it is actually the Imperial Military Medical Academy, but I'm not positive. Anyway, this is their 1898 100-Year Jubilee Graduation Badge. You can see it in Avers-5, page 82, item 10. Avers lists gold and silver variants, this one is bronze. There are traces of a silver wash on the inside of the screwplate and I'm guessing this badge was once silver-plated ... if poorly. I guess you got whatever level of posh you or your family could afford once you graduated.Enjoy.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblinfarms Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Really nice. The Oaks and Laurals remind me of the wreath on Luftwaffe Qualification Badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck In Oregon Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 I knew I had this photo around here somewhere. As usual, I was looking for something else when I came across it. A proud young doctor wearing his jubilee badge. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
