Any information would be appreciated. Thanks. Has 20-8-29 date with name engraved on back
Ww1 German medal
- Thread starter Jfox
- Start date
1929 would be too late for WW1. "von" is "from" those 4 guys. Red white and blue would be an unusual color combo for Germany. Gary

'Awarded to Fredrick Robert Erwin August 8 1929'
Something significant happened somewhere in 1895 and was commemorated in 1929... but what was it?
There's something written underneath this pin... looks like R.S.C. I wonder if this medal/badge drop has been repurposed?

"wandel medailles" ... “Volksmarch,” or “People's Walk,” has its origins after the end of World War II, and has also been called “Volkswanderung”.
Perhaps the numbers don't mean 1929 ?

German, 1895, and griffin all cross here, ... but I'm unable to match the logo.
Might be associated with this sports club ?

I think Antiquarian is on to it. Repurposed. The ribbon is likely a vet reunion item. I think the original ribbon color was red white and BLACK, which are normal colors for Germany in that era, and the black faded to blue. The red white and blue flag doesn't represent anything German. I searched German military and found no red white and blue colors on anything. Those are the colors of US, Britain, France, and Russia. Just my 2-cents. Gary

Thats a Bierzipfel, part of the Accessories of a German Coleurstudent. The plague seems to be attached afterwards (SRC ; Students Rowing Club?) and obscures the original engraving so any try to identify the Verbindung is futile.
Backside engraving reads:
Z (Zur / for) Erg. (
) 20.8.1929
Von / From
Friedrich Robert, Erwin and Hans.
Script and Style fit the date.

I think I already remarked when the WW1 actually was and that Germans also do other things than war (consider e.g. buying a car from them, they are nice), but alas this does not seem to fall on fertile ground.
