Lot 181:
An Imperial German Military Medal
Description
A patriotic jewellery pendant designed in the style of an Imperial German Iron Cross. The item is manufactured from a one-piece base metal casting with a silver-toned plating. The obverse features a traditional cross pattee form with a raised, stepped border and a pebbled central field. There is a raised relief in the centre of the obverse, though the characters are indistinct and cannot be definitively identified. The pendant includes an integrated suspension loop at the top. The reverse is flat and undecorated, displaying a rough, horizontally-grained texture from the manufacturing process. This item is a non-official souvenir produced for the civilian or military market rather than a formal military award.
Height: 35 mm
Width: 32 mm.
Condition report:
The pendant is in fair condition. There is noticeable wear to the silver-coloured plating on the raised edges and textured surfaces, revealing the darker grey base metal. The casting displays soft details and some minor surface pitting consistent with age and mass production.
