I am inserting my picture used from a url on another forum because this site is not allowing me to insert anything but very small (kb) pictures directly from my PC. If anyone could explain, I would appreciate your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49ermatt Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 They change, but here is my current favorite medal. I love the image of this soldier at the ready with his hand on the hilt of his sword. I think some of these medals are small works of art.

schutzenfester Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Though some people have stated in the past that they don't think this is a good looking medal, I have always been somewhat fascinated by it. I purchase when I can as long as the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less rare than "R" (etc.)? Per the Richter catalog- H: Common: more than 50 specimens available. Important: See also "Market availability". R: Rare: <50 specimens available. RR: Very Rare: <25 specimens available. RRR: Extremely Rare: <5 specimens available. RRRR: Unique UN: Unknown. Most probably medals have been struck, but so far, no medal has appeared on the market. Based on my 38 years of collecting and my Father's 56 years of collecting, the specific number values above may be somewhat fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
