Veteran’s Hamburg Field Honor Award

Germany, Weimar Republic, c.1920-1933 - Deutsches Feld-Ehrenzeichen Hamburg. Issued by the German Field Honor Badge Association, this non-official state award had to be applied for with the presentation of military papers, proving active participation in WWI. It could then be purchased and worn denoting 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 fullback reverse shows two rivets and reads: “Deutsches Feld-Ehrenzeichen e. V. Hamburg 11” and “Ges. Gesch”. It also has a soldered-on sheet metal hinge, flat catch and coke bottle pin. It measures 2 ½ inches tall by 2 1/8 inches wide.
