Search for Reichsgesetzblatt

[JensF.]

Hi,

I am searching for a list of medals, for which the holder could get a honor-pay. It was listed in the Reichsgesetzblatt from August 27. 1939. RGSBL I, Page 1553.

Until the days of the Federal Republic of Germany a holder of the St. Henry order for example could get a honor-pay of 50 DM per month.

Thanks and greetings

Jeez...

It didn't com out as expected...

you get the idea...

the numbers next to the awards are the monthly RM

Nothing as high as 50, highest is 25

Many thanks David!!! I meant 50 DM. In the Federal Republic Ernst Jünger for example got 50 DM for his Pour le Merite.

Thanks!
