Hi Sovvisor,

We are working hard on establishing a timeline, and minis are one of the most important pieces of the evidence I am looking at.

So, to be most helpful, please list your minis by saying what the award is, and the year of institution (if you have it).

A J. Godet-marked mini with a Hindenburg cross tells us a lot about when that particular buttonback was used, for example, as the Hindy was instituted in 1934. So this information is very important.

A good one as well

This one is borrowed from the forum for reference awile back. Can´t remeber from whom. Hope its ok.

In fact, could everyone please post their Godet buttonbacks into this thread? Date of institution for any relevant or interesting award(s) would be extremely helpful.

The medal was instituted in 1921 by the Council of the Order of the Union of Nationalist Soldiers to be awarded to those who had served Germany faithfully during and after World War I. The medal was suppressed in 1934.
