Please identify!

I have about 6 WWII Nazi medals in my posession, and I have been able to identify all but one of them. I have been searching for this medal online for two days now and still have no clue. I am hoping one of you may know what it is and solve the mystery for me
Here it is....front and back

No problem. I don't know this award anyway, so I would not have been a great help. What else you got?

Well, if it took 25 years to earn it, I rather doubt there were too many issued!

Re: Please identify!

The medal is quite stunning and beautiful, but unfortunately it was a medal given mainly to civilians who showed faithful service, of course time spent in the military was also taken into account. I saw one on ebay selling for $75.00....
Anyway, I also posses 2 war merit cross, 1 Knights iron cross 2nd class, 1 sudetenland medal, and 1 west wall medal. I also have quite a few badges and shields.

Re: Please identify!

Klaus, steady on lad! Mayhap if we ask really nicely, she'll be gracious enough to put up some more photos?


Pleeeeeeeeezzzz?!?!

Still, there is something unfair about stumbling across all that stuff blindly. Why can't I be that lucky????

Re: Please identify!

Same here. Sometimes I got the feeling, that everything from that period can be found everywhere but in Germany or Austria.
