Title KuK gallantry medal, 3rd class, pot metal with wrong ribbon
Nationality Austrian
Period c 1915-16
Price £18.00

This is the small (3.30cm diameter) KuK bravery medal with Kaiser Franz Joseph's bust on the obverse and 'Der Tapferkeit' on the reverse. Apart from the ribbon being that for the wound medal, it is almost certainly a contemporary tailor's copy, as it lacks the designer's name, which should be under the bust.

The condition is somewhat scruffy as the pot metal has lost most of its bronze finish.

Incredibly, I received your shipment today. Super fast delivery, I was expecting it on Saturday. The helmet was, as you said, 100%. The side cap is excellent also...
