Title KuK medalette, 176 Company mountain mortar battery
Nationality Austrian
Period 1917
Sold

This measures only 3.6cm high and represents the herculean efforts of this battery on the Macedonian front in combatting French and English troops. The bulk of the troops on this particular front were of German or Bulgarian origin, with a little Austrian help.

The medal is a little scarred with minor oxidisation here and there, but the relief is still nice and sharp and, above all, it is dated with a specific front and unit.

testimonials

I received the item today, you had packed it well and there were no problems with customs. Overall I was happy with it although the blade was a little bit worse than I had imagined, however thank you for your efforts.

Bayonet arrived safe + sound this AM Sat. Special delivery excellent again. Worth the few extra bob. To be honest it was better than I dared hope. I usually avoid polished bits like the plague!! Your price was a bit fierce!! - but a great marking I lacked... Please email me anytime you have anything that might be of interest.
