Title Small silver Medal for Bravery, Franz Joseph I, with bar for 2nd award
Nationality Austrian
Period 1914-18
Price £60.00

On 29 November 1915, bars were authorised for 2nd, 3rd and 4th awards of the same class of the medal. This was awarded to NCOs and men for bravery in action and was instituted as a medal in 1789 as the Tapferkeitsmedaille. There were several sizes of both silver and gold awards for varying degrees of courage.

The condition is GVF with some contact wear to both sides. The ribbon, although original, is a little on the grubby side and has faded somewhat.

...acquiring this bayonet has completely changed my way of thinking on collecting bayonets. I have become extremely fond of the bayonet... Thanking you once again for the very professional way in which you handled the money [going to the wrong account] problem.
