Guest Steve E Posted 18 February , 2005 Share Posted 18 February , 2005 Hello everyone. My name is Steve and I am new to this forum. I love to collect military collectibles. I just stumbled across this forum by mistake and am I glad I did. Looks very informative and fun. I was given this medal years ago and I have not been able to find anyone who can identify it. The original presentation box is plain black (no markings) with a red satin-like interior. I think it is Pre WWI German by looking at the writing on the bottom. Anyway the images should show every detail clearly. Thank you for any help. Medal Images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 19 February , 2005 Share Posted 19 February , 2005 Hello Steve, I cannot produce an image of the medal when I "click" the icon. This may be why you have not had a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Greg Nehring Posted 20 February , 2005 Share Posted 20 February , 2005 Hi All, It appears to be a Bavarian Veterens' badge for the 1st Bavairian Infantry Regiment. My German is pretty minimal but it basically says in in Honour of beloging to the 1st Bavaian Infantry Regiment, the Kaizers 1st Inf. Regt. During reimantal reunions you could buy such commemoratives of varying quality. The more you paid, the better the medal. The funds going to pay for those past members of the regiment injured or infirmed through service at the front or in need. Cheers, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
