1925 Magdeburg Stahlhelm Medallion

[Pink]

Recent acquisition, have some info but appreciate any further comments on it and the history behind it. Great in the hand....very well struck. The silver dollar for size comparisons....it is a 2" diameter...flash makes it a tad shiny...

Cheers

Although this was a commemorative handout for participants in the VI Soldatentag, I seem to remember that it was actually the first commemorative given out for the annual rally and the only one in the form of a medallion. The following years, pin-back badges were given out. I don't believe there were any sort of commemorative medals or badges given out for the I-V annual rallies (1920-1924).

I'm not an expert on Stahlhelm as some others are. So, I might be mistaken.
