M-1220 Interesting group of Gymnastics medals and tinnies
Gymnastics medals and tinnies mounted on length of ribbon. The whole thing is in fabulous condition. The black, white and red cross with the Bavarian colors of blue/white in the center with crossed swords is fairly rare. It reads, Kolonial u. Marine Truppen, Bamberg u. Umgeb. gegr.1903. This means Colonial and Marine Troops (assoc.) of Bamberg and neighbouring areas, founded 1903. It's missing a small ribbon w/anchor device, but it's still rare and very nice. A small gem. Bamberg is fairly removed from the ocean so anything nautically-related should be considered scarce. It's really a wonderful unit and I'm certain there's some collector with taste sophisticated enough to realize that. For what it is, it's top-of-the-line. more pics and more!
