Austrin medal interwars

[nachomenorca]

Hi to all! Please help me to identify this miniature medal, all I know is it from Austria, made in 800 silver & enamel in Wiena, I guess is an award to any civil service 'Fur treue Verdienste' can be translated to: 'For loyal service', any opinion welcome

Nobody has an opinion?

Sorry, I can't help.

I think we need the help of an Austrian member.

Hi guys!

I tried to find out when I saw this interesting silver-piece first, but unfortunately couldn't find it too, sorry!

Kind regards, Peter

This may be related to true service to the German science foundation in Vienna in 31.

Very likely! And I think correct translation for "Verdienst" is not service, but merit. Service is "Dienst".

Thanks for the replies, so you think it's related to this organization, very interesting! I understand is given for merits in scientific investigation? what do you think the letters K.D. of the inscription means? thanks again for helping
