That medal was struck with several different texts on the reverse. It is a medal for the Reichsbahn, the German railroad. You can see the rail at the bottom with the winged wheel...emblem of the Reichsbahn. Gary

Gary,

Many thanks for that information.

Was it an award, or a service medal, or private purchase?

Here are some shots of the medal that appears to have been converted to a pinback.

wonder what was the reason for that.

Any ideas?
