Hello
I would like to start this Thread, to see all the different Medal Cases to the matching Awards and to find out a little more about Cases types and use period. We all know the Plastic Cases with Velvet Inlay, found on the earlier Awards and Foam inlay on the later. I guess those were in use around late 60's to 1989. Found in use, in any Organisation like NVA,Feuerwehr,ZV,KG,MdI etc. Before, those awards mostly came in leather cases with different colour velvet inlays (red,white,green,black,blue)
Now I wonder, if for example in the leather case period, the colour of the inlay has to match the grade of the award. Like gold medal with red velvet inlay case, silver medal in white velvet inlay and maybe the bronze medal in a blue velvet inlay case.
thats one of the many questions that interests me about the early cases.
same with Cases for high end Awards. the Cases for the higher awards are mostly very different to the "normal" other Cases. I hope, we can see some "not that often seen" Cases here to shed some Light in this not that often discussed but very interesting area.
one Problem I have when buying Awards on ebay, I cannot tell for sure that the Case really belongs to that medal..that annoys me sometimes.
Thats one of the reasons,that i would like to see Cases here, where you really can tell that it is the correct case for the Medal.
I will make a start with a couple of Cases,where I know they are 100% correct to the Medal.
