DJVD CASED MEDAL
I just obtained this medal and I thought it would go with the theme of the two clam shells on the hirschfangers shown in this forum.

If WOTON or BILL WARDA would be so kind as to decipher the written page in German that came with the medal, it would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

HUBERTUS


Diese Silber-Medaille des A.D.J.V. wurde meinem Vater Otto Lanz mit bieliegenden Schreliben des Vorsitzenden Geh.Rates Emil Dreiss vom 22.4.1929 verliehen unter Beifugung aller damaliger Namen der Mitglieder, durch die er einstimmig zum 1. Vorsitzenden gewahlt wurde. Vater konnte dieses Ehrenamt nicht mehr ubernehmen,da er 3 Tage spater am 25 April 1929 im Cannsatter Krankenhaus vestorben ist! Dies Madaille war somit die letzte Auszeichnung seitens seiner Collegen der grunen Farbe!

This silver medal of the A.D.J.V. has been awarded to my father Otto Lanz together with the enclosed writing of the chairman Geh.Rates (is a kind of gov. grade "Geheimer Rat" or "Geheimrat") Emil Dreiss on 22th of april 1929, under addition of all members at those times, who have elected him in unanimity (do not know for sur if this is the right word)to first chaiman. (My) father could not take over this honor function any more as three days later, on 25th of april 1929, he has died in the hospital of Cannsatt. This medal therefore has been the last decoration which has come from his colleges (friends) of the green color (=hunters). Hubert Lanz, General (ret.) in april 1929.
Hope it helps. It was very helpful for me that you have written down the german text seperately, translate direct from the pic would have been a hard work.

Well I dug out another one, this piece is an early 3rd reich example given as an honor gift by the ADJV in May 1934.To have been awarded this the guy must have done something very special, probably along the lines of catching poachers or an extreme act of bravery.
You must have lots more ralph, lets see them.

I'm reading and looking at all of these wonderful daggers.Has anyone noticed the condition of them.After 60+ yrs we see what has happened to 3 Reich era daggers.These daggers are in great shape to include the gold on dedications.This is another sign of the great craftmanship in daggers that are in some cases over 100yrs old Cool

Ed, As I'm sure you know, trying to get a picture down to 75 Kb is tricky sometimes, I tend to lose a few details sometimes, the last piece I posted is a lot better than the pictures, A lot of the presented pieces I have posted were I'm sure tucked away in a drawer somewhere and some have not seen the light of day for 60 + years. These pieces were treasured by their original owners because they mean't so much to them.
Here's a sneak preview of a piece I got in tonight, straight out of Germany. Awarded to Unteroffiziere Rinne of the 11th Company of the 18th Regiment for winning the same all comers NCO competition for 3 consecutive years in 1926/27/28. Just a bit of work on the scabbard and a very light clean on the blade is all that is needed.

IMO these dagger are underappriciated by most in the collecting community. They are by far the higest quality edged wepons ever made by the Germans. Please keep posting!

This thread needs another shot in the arm
A WKC pattern 101, a presentation for 30 years of service in heartfelt thanks by the spa town of Schmiedeberg by Halle on the river on 16th December 1924.

I'm sure there must be more out there.

A very fine piece Gary. I guess there are not many posting photos as there are not that many of these daggers. Nice and interesting to see the boarhead cross guard on such an early piece.
Do you gave a photo album? I'd sure like to see it at the MAX.

Houston, Perhaps they are rare and not many about but they are available, this piece was on Ebay only a couple months ago, perhaps I was lucky that I was the only bidder and got it for $850, pretty affordable for most collectors I think.
A beautiful piece Ralph, I have yet to find a decent long bavarian, I'm sure one will turn up at some time.

Cheers

Gary
