G4970.)CASED GERMAN 3rd RCH LIFE-SAVING MEDAL: I've always loved these -- they're quite rare -- and it's an award that's grossly undervalued for what it is. Not many were awarded. Handsome, high quality silver coin-like medal, 50mm wide and much, much larger than a US silver dollar. Raised relief Prussian eagle on front, swastika on eagle's chest. Reverse has wreath and inscription 'FUR RETTUNG AUS GEFAHR'. Hinged, 3" square black leatherette case with functioning spring button catch at front. EXC++++
