About the only thing I can tell you is that it is not a "Cross of the Wehrmacht"
and your pictures are way too big.


Might want to try the General Awards forum.

Rettungsmedaille

In my opinion this is not an original medal.

Well, let's move it and find out!

Hi Trevor,


These are very difficult medals to judge only based up on picture because their exist very good copies.

Based upon what I can see I have my doubts in relation to the medal you posted. Certainly te reverse lettering and the oakleaves seem completely different when compared to mine. The eagle looks better but their are still minor differences in detailing.

I'll post you mine so you can compare it yourself. Does your badge feature a silver stamp in the rim?

For me, the one Philippe shows is the only acceptable kind.

Here are some better pictures. There is no silver marking on the rim.

Hi Trevor,


Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is that a 800 silver stamp I'm seeing on the bottom of the reverse, just under the oakleaves

Never seen anything like it before on such a medal.

You are right. I completely missed it.
