Superb - and actually rarely seen! - golden-toned WH (Heeres) 'Gebirgsjäger'-related item: a semi-official, commemorative-medal (aka: 'Url') depicting an 'Edelweiss'-symbol coupled with the text: 'Geb.Jäg.Rgt. 100'

This is an attractive - very desirable and actually rarely found! - (bright) golden-toned- and/or - I deem - typical copper-based, WH (Heeres) 'Gebirgsjäger'-related item: a semi-official, commemorative-medal (aka: 'Url' or: luck-bringer) depicting an 'Edelweiss'-symbol coupled with the text: 'Geb.Jäg.Rgt. 100' (and on its back mentioning various battle-areas such as: 'Cassino', 'Gemmano' and 'Mont Blanc' to mention a few) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit clearly used- ie. worn-), condition. The 'Raute'-shaped piece (approximately sized: 5 x 5 cms.) is constructed from (quite heavy-weight) bright-golden-toned copper and comes still mounted onto its leather-based cord: it shows most of its 'golden-like' finish: it has really nice and/or pronounced detail. I know that these desirable 'semi-official'-medals are also copied: this is naturally a genuine example that was never before part of a collection and originates from a German-household where it was recently uncovered. There is not much known about these commemorative 'medals' but they were most certainly highly desirable 'souvenir'-pieces that could be won by the soldiers active in this war-area (even that late in the war ie. in 1944 ie. 1945!). In any case is this a very attractive - and without doubt scarcely seen! - 'Gebirgsjäger'-related item that comes not that often for sale!
