This is a veteran’s medal in the shape of a wreath. The wreath is gilt-toned and measures 1 5/8″ in diameter. A silver-toned tag hangs from it. This tag bears the words “Dem Ehren Mitgliede (Honorary Member) Jürgen Gerth 2. 8. 21.” So, the owner had been made a special member of this veteran’s organization. It features a ribbon tied in a bow at the wreath’s top. Its colors are white, black, and red, Germany’s national colors. A hook hangs down from the wreath beneath the bow. Evidently it held another piece that is missing. It is priced accordingly.

  • AUSTRIAN – VETERAN’S BADGE – HEERES GRUPPE BÖHM-ERMOLLI

    SKU: 01-854

    $30.00

    This is an interesting WW I Austrian veteran’s badge. The badge measures 1 ½” x 1 ½.” Its bottom displays shields sporting Prussian, Austrian, and Turkish Coats-of-Arms. The badge’s center features the legend “Heeres Gruppe Böhm-Ermolli,” which refers to Eduard Freiherr von Böhm-Ermolli (1856-1941). When WW I began, von Böhm-Ermolli was an Austrian General der Kavallerie. He led several different Austrian armies, commanding Heeres Gruppe Böhm-Ermolli from 15 September 1915 to 25 July 1916. He was promoted to a Generaloberst’s rank in May 1916. When von Hindenburg was promoted to Chief of the General Staff, and Generalfeldmarschall von Mackensen was given command of the East, Bavaria’s Generalfeldmarschall Prinz Leopold assumed overall command of all the Central Powers’ troops. At that point, von Böhm-Ermolli found himself reporting to Prinz Leopold. Von Böhm-Ermolli was ultimately promoted to Feldmarschall in January 1918. The gilt-toned badge is stamped.

  • BELGIUM – DECORATION – 2ND CLASS – INDUSTRIELLE ET AGRICOLE (DECORATION – INDUSTRY AND AGRICULTURE) –

    SKU: 01-703

    $50.00

    This is an unusual badge from Belgium that began in the 19th Century as an award for success in industry and agriculture. It later became a labor decoration and apparently is still issued now in a 1958 configuration. Our example is the 1905 type for the Industry and Agriculture Award 2nd Class. An oval-shaped metal medallion hangs down from an articulated crown. The crown is attached to a jump ring that holds a short length of black, gold and red ribbon. The badge measures 2 1/8″ x 1″ from the top of its crown to the base of the oval. The outer section of the oval is decorated with blue enamel leaves and berries. Another smaller oval is centered within it, faintly gilt in color, with these words on either side “Habilete Moralite Bekwa Amheid Zedelijkheid” (Moral skill Durability is more skilled Morality). [This came from an online translation program, which is not terribly sophisticated]. A shield with a rampant lion is at the oval’s top, right beneath the crown. The oval’s center features a bee hive and various work tools. Evidently, these medals were awarded for contributions to Belgium’s economy in the industrial and agricultural areas.
