Ostmedaille - 19 or 79??

'19'

This is the same reason that Hitlers' party badge is thought of as a 7,
when it is actually number 1. As Mo says, it's just the way
Europeans make their 'ones'.........

Thank you , gentlemen. Even with bifocals, magnifying glass and a USB microscope it is difficult to differentiate sometimes. I was not aware that there were no '79' known awards, just had seen that number on the list of PKZ numbers. Good to know.
I am looking for a Deschler marked Ostmedaille. One of these days, maybe . . .
Meanwhile, there are so many other things that the wish list grows longer instead of shorter!

Roger, do you want a marked Deschler for reference or to buy? Stewy

Stewy, I am looking to buy one.
