Title Viennese commemorative medal for students
Nationality Austrian
Period 1914
Price £30.00

Struck in bronze with a Latin logo ('Sapientiae Studii Viennensis') surrounding an image of a queen in a Renaissance window. The reverse has the logo 'Zur // Erinnerung // An das // Kriegsjahr // 1914', all above a laurel wreath.

It measures 3.6cm across and is in GVF condition. This is the tail end of a collection I bought back in 1997, put together by a Belgian doctor, who, after WW1, worked all over central Europe with the war wounded. He collected a vast quantity of commemorative material, of which this is an example, given to him mostly by his grateful patients.

My Arisaka arrived at 9.00am. Very prompt delivery and excellent packaging! The blade is superb.. and just what I was after, its in very fine condition and just as you described.. I've referenced it in my copy of Raymond La Bar's book "Bayonets of Japan".

Many thanks, Chris, once again its been a pleasure doing business!
