    Saar table medal

    Hi

    I wonder if a forum member can tell me a little more about this item, part from the fact that was issued to commemorate the unification of Saar into Germany. I
    have not seen one like this before, though I am sure someone reading this has.

    It is a Bronze 'award' as denoted on the case that would suggest there is a sliver and gold one out there.

    The side of the award has the stamp 'Bayer.Hauptmonzamt'.

    Many thanks

    Raymond

      My cased medal is identical to yours, except no mm. Here is a silver version, I believe:http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=165438

                Saar medal cotton

                Hi, guys. Here is my medal. The cotton looks almost like a small slice of attic insulation, except it is very soft and fragile, it almost ripped when I lifted it out, to see if there was anything written on the bottom(not). It is a slight pinkish color, with aging on the exposed corners. Have a nice day-Charlie

                      Hi

                      Thanks for the posts gents. I had given up hope on the thread as no one had responded.

                      Yes, the material in the box is like roofing insulation.

                      Thanks for sharing the images of the silver one. All we need now is a gold one to finish the set off

                      The medal from Weitze is a little disappointing to say the least. I am sure he will rectify the situation as it is clearly not what you thought you were buying

                      All the best

                      Raymond

                        I wonder how rare these are? These three are the only ones I have seen. Charlie

                          Hi Charlie

                          Well, that is what I am wondering as I have not seen them before.

                          I am still not sure who they were given to and what the qualification was to get either bronze, silver or gold

                            I was always under the impression that these were purchased during the period as souvenirs of the occasion, like the Goetz and Meissen small table medals. There are a myriad of different designs commemorating all sorts of special events that could be collected. Like the old Franklin Mint medals/coins.
