    Memel Medal Bar

    I've added another bar to my Memel collection.

    I knew the Medal was made by Petz & Lorenz before I bought it.

    I could not tell if it was a Type 1 or a Type 2.

    Well it turns out that it is a Type 2 which I did not have before I got this bar.

    I am very happy.

              I didn't know that Petz & Lorenz made 2 types.
              Do they both have they same oversized chain design?

                Type 1. Both have oversized chain.

                    Thanks Wayne. Looks like both types uses the same obverse.

                      Slight difference when you actually look at them in hand.

                      What's missing on the type 2 are the initials RK just to the right of the figure on the right(just above his foot).

                        Example.

                        RK - Richard Klein

                          Never seen that before. And there actually was a short but confusing second before the name Richard Klein popped up in my head.

                          Do you (or anybody else) have a good close up pic of the initials, I´d really want to see it.

                            It's really tough to get a good picture of the 'RK'.

                            If you have the medal in hand and you use a loop it easy to see the letters.

                            If you were looking at the medal without a loop the 'RK' looks like a flaw but it really isn't.

                            There are a couple of tinies in Antonio's book that clearly show the 'RK' but again difficult to get a good photo of.

                              Great medal bar Wayne! I really love it!

                              First picture shows the initials "RK" in P&L Memels type I.
                              Second picture is of a table commemorative medal of the Reichsparteitag: same obverse design of the Flower War Medals with the "RK" in the same position of the P&L Memel type I.
                              (Both are taken from the Memel book).
