A Weimar Deutsches Feld-Ehrenzeichen Hamburg im Etui. The award could be applied for and worn to commemorate service in World War I. This semi-official award denoted war service without requiring membership in other veteran organizations. Its awarding and wear was banned in November 1935. It is constructed out of a multi-piece die struck tombak/nickel-silver base that has been silver washed and burnished gold gilded and contains white enamel work. The obverse depicts a centrally placed oval emblem of a battle wary soldier returning home from WWI, surrounded by a beaded golden border above a white enameled pattée style cross and two crossed golden broad swords, all above able a six pointed star. The full back reverse shows two rivets and reads: “Deutsches Feld-Ehrenzeichen Hamburg 11” and “Ges. Gesch”. It also has a soldered on block hinge, round wire catch and coke bottle pin. Nice gilding, silvering and enamel! It measures 2 ½ inches tall by 2 1/8 inches wide. A unique piece!
