Hi Everyone,
I was wondering, if members had come across this particular POW medal (2,6cm x 3,9cm) before, the small folded ribbon has Bavarian army colours, reading the citation he was a POW in the years 1917 -18. I believe, a commemorative medal, but am at a loss as to which organization would have struck it? perhaps a veterans or maybe a Freikorp based in Bavaria. I've googled through the net and looked through various collectors period books without turning up another one, any further information and possible value would be appreciated.
Best Wishes
