Various Medals

[HenrikKH]

Hi Guys

Here is what the cat dragged in :-)

I got these yesterday. Not my field of collecting, but quite interesting though.

First a Kolonialehrenzeichen 1921 "Elefantenorden"

It's in lightmetal.

And, a rare bird: Südwest Afrika-Denkmünze for colored/natives

Last of the kolonial Medal/Badges I have.

Very nice Henrik. Can we see the side edge of the elefant orden please.

[HenrikKH]

Here we go.

It does not look cast.

Last

[Don D.]

Thanks. It appears to be cupal. Probably a late 30s-mid 40s piece.

OK Dave, I give up. What does cupal mean? I could not find it in any dictionary. Is it a specialized metallurgy term?

Thanks,
Chip

[Don D.]

Copper clad aluminium.

And who the heck is Dave?

[Scott Powell]

Also great to learn what 'Cupal' means as well
