Assortment of medals..

[3volv3]

Hi everyone, a friend of a friend found this in their grandfathers house recently. They want to get rid of it so I want to make an offer but just want to hear your opinions on authenticity.

Kind regards,
Nico

I believe the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2.Klasse mit Schwertern, the Treue Dienst Ehrenzeichen, 25 and 40 Jahre and Ehrenkreuz der Deutsche Mutter Erste Stufe seems all good imho..

Oh and this one is the one I'm most intrigued with:



Some sort of Prussian medal?

[Adrian]

I can't help you with the last award but all the others are original.

Thank you Adrian! That last medal (if real) is probably from the 1st world war, but I've been trying to search militaria websites for some info but no luck yet..

[Adrian]

Try posting it in the Imperial forum, I'm sure the guys there will be able to help.

This is a deutschen Krieger-bund 1914-1918
oraganisation of prussian war particapants 1914-1918 2nd class nice original piece!!

The obverse reads 'Prussia's Brave Warriors', the reverse ‘Preussisches Kriegs Erinnerungs Kreuz’ (Prussian Commemorative War Cross). The Cross was established after the end of World War I by the Vereinigung Preussischer Kriegsteilnehmer im Deutschen Kriegerbund, a benevolent organisation for former Prussian combatants, to be awarded for outstanding service. It was paid for by membership dues and/or donations.


Regards, Ned.

Great info Ned and Outpost
I hate to talk money on the forum, but I just need a rough idea of how much that medal may go for, I want to offer the guy a fair price for the medal so at least he gets his fair share :-)
Is this medal easy to find or not?

[big ned]

It's not particularly rare, and it's a bit specialised too. I'd offer him 900- 1000 Rand, everyone goes home happy.
