    Obscure School? Medals

    Recently picked up these medals/fobs dating to the 1930's in germany one is named to a Gew.v. Uffz Korps 3.Gsk. M.U.T.D.Hltg. They seem to be some sort of school fobs maybe for matches as some seem to have last names on them like a versus type of thing. A visor came with these ive posted it in another thread http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...38#post3098838
    Well I'll let the pictures to the talking

    Nice grouping! The fobs (called Bierzipfel) with the intertwined letters and exclamation points are from University student clubs/fraternities. Not like those in the US, but these were also known for involving duels with sabers, where the object was to not flinch when your cheek was slashed by your opponent. The others are equestrian and one was presented by the 3rd Squadron of a mounted (probably Uhlan) unit.

      Interesting, Thanks for the reply with such great info
      I assume the visor I posted in the other post is for the universtity these guys attended then. As so the person claimed there were various other visors of other color combinations(to match the medals ie white orange white) originally with this lot but they got so moth'd and beaten from age he didnt bother picking them up.

      Is there any reference to these types of items? Would be cool to find out what school or who these guys where
