Dear Imperialoids,

I would like to stimulate you to post a nice library of images to store on this thread. Any comments on these medals and their different variations and makers are most welcomed, naturally!

Ciao,

Claudio

Dear Claudio,

Here is my steel finish variant:

Cheers, Frank

[Frank Heukemes]

reverse

[McCulloh]

I got this from Altengruber-looks great in the front...

[McCulloh]

but from the back...hmmm...decadent Weimar workmanship?

[Brian S]

Really like these eagles...

[Brian S]

backside

[McCulloh]

I hope Histaria posts his collection.

[Eric Gaumann]

OK, I'll bite

Here she is!
A little chip out of the enamel to the left of the "FÜR"

[Eric Stahlhut]

Another one. Tombak.

[Eric Stahlhut]

Reverse has vertically-stamped hallmark to Max Reich of Breslau.

[Eric Stahlhut]

Iron example. Most likely a period original piece.

[Eric Stahlhut]

Reverse retains far more finish, but notice that the catch has been clipped a very long time ago. Perhaps around the time that this award was declared unofficial? I dunno.

How's this for an oddity?!

A First Class Silesian Eagle, mounted as a second class on the medal bar!
