Salzburg Medal ?????

[MObushwhacker]

This medal, watch bob or what ever, was brought back from Gemany with a bunch of Nazi badges & medals after WWII. Any help ID it will be greatly appreciated

Interesting item. I don't think it's a medal.

My hunch is that it's an early souvenir watch fob.


Regards,

Cool find.
Wiki has a great Panorama pic, "taken from the top of the fortress"
which I guess is the one on the medallion/fob.

I think you can see Hohensalzburg Castle in the mountain on the Fob, now what the man carrying the Club is all about?

Manufacturer's or designer's initials (CD??) appear off the 'g' in Salsburg--if that helps at all.

It could be a Volksmarch medal/fob.

Yes, the view on the fob is looking towards the fortress. The fob's view is as if it were seen from either Kapuzinerberg or the mountain behind it (with the radio tower in this photo), looking back across the Salzach river at the Fortress.
