A Military Merit Medal in Silver from the Franco-German War 1870/71 Very precisely struck medal of the stamp used after 1848 in the typical version for 1871 with the robust, semi-circular eyelet. After the Wars of Liberation, Losch's stamped signature under the portrait was omitted, similar to the Military Award for Corpsmen (then hidden in the sleeve section). A total of 799 silver medals were awarded for the war of 1870/71. They are therefore scarcer than the type used for China and the World War with die smith Ries with circa 3,000 bestowals. , Additional-Rights-Clearance-Info-Not-Available
