mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2962 Posts	Posted 03/12/2021 12:28 pm I picked up this German medallion at a flea market, and I am wondering if this dates to the ww1 period or so. I'm not sure how many were saved or what their function was. Report this Post to the Staff

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 03/12/2021 12:50 pm The steam locomotive is actually of a model much older than WW1. The medal commemorates the German Industrial Exposition of 1844! Here is a link with some info: https://www.walpoleantiques.com/med...osition-1844 Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1616 Posts	Posted 03/16/2021 12:23 am There are obvious differences between the original and the OPs. The OPs specimen seems chunky and lacks detail. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/16/2021 01:34 am It would have been a 'no brainer' to buy such a handsome medal at a flea market sale myself, at reasonably low cost, without having the slightest of what it is. A combination of finding answers by posting here in the CCF and Google Images goes a long way to making research much easier. Thx erafgel for your input. All other comments valuable as well.
