This medal is by far my favorite of all German Medals.
Please post yours! Paul  |

Here are my 1937 versions. Notice the three known variants of this medal... two are in silver and one is in silverwashed zinc(the silver has long evaporated).
 |

|
|
|
Here is the marking on the brighter of the two silver medals.

Here is the maker mark on the rim of the more oxidized silver medal. There is no marking on the zinc medal

The funny thing is that each Germanic Kindom had it's own Lifesaving medal. I have only been able to find the Prussian Imperial and Third Reich Versions.
The others are VERY rare. I have only seen one other, a Saxon! I am always looking for Luftwaffe or Luftwaffe auxillary collar tabs. I am also in search of an untouched: 1. LW Field Division Tunic 2. LW HG Tunic(with cuff title) 3. LW General Staff Tunic 4. Some LW Administrative tunics |

Raymond,
Spendid medals!! Do any of them have any markings? I love the patina on the center medal! SADolch, Thanks for your kind comments! I crave these medals as many do the Knights Cross. The funny thing is that awarded specimens are far rarer, IMHO. Regards Paul I am always looking for Luftwaffe or Luftwaffe auxillary collar tabs. I am also in search of an untouched: 1. LW Field Division Tunic 2. LW HG Tunic(with cuff title) 3. LW General Staff Tunic 4. Some LW Administrative tunics |

Thanks for your replies. These medals are definately under appreciated, value wise. May they stay that way... for a least a little while longer!
Seriously, the desireablity in these pieces must be picking up as the prices have really started to sky rocket! The collector's guild is selling one for 800 dollars!  If prices were based on rarity, this would be a bargain. Yet when compared to what they were going for a couple of years ago, this price is simply insane.I am always looking for Luftwaffe or Luftwaffe auxillary collar tabs. I am also in search of an untouched: 1. LW Field Division Tunic 2. LW HG Tunic(with cuff title) 3. LW General Staff Tunic 4. Some LW Administrative tunics |

Must have sold. I should have asked Bill Shea about the possibility of saving the image to this site for posterity.

Do you remember how much he was selling it for?
