Here's a Blood Order Medal I picked up in Europe back in 1972.
It was issued to:
Hartz, Herbert v., federation upper country, ii-battalion, 8.Minenwerfer-Kompanie, blood medal Nr.250 to 9.11.1933. Wish I had the ribbon for it but the medal is rare enough. each medal was individually stamped with a number and recorded as to which recipient received which medal. His is #250.
The large rim is due to MY lack of photography skills. I'll get a better straight-on pic on for you.
There is no doubt to its authenticity. Good buy.
Thanks; it is a beautiful medal. I'll try and get some better pics of it posted this week. Finally got a new camera.
Sorry to come late to this thread but this BO is a reproduction.
I totally agree with Erich. This is an old fake.
Cheers, Ade.
The 1923-1933 write is all wrong.
the letters and numbers are sloppy.. I had one went to a show with it in my pocket,, saw one .he said $2000 ,, i said here i got one for you,,, he said hold them together , you can't mix them up... mine was junk!
Being a newbie around here I was looking at some past threads and this one really stuck out as a bad repro. Colt, 2000.00 is really cheap for an original BO these days!
