I have received from Richard Blunk, all five war souvenirs his father, Pfc. Richard R. Blunk had collected and were returned to his family with his effects. The white Maltese cross with green oak leaves, and gold branches with acorns has "Fur Treue Mitgliedschaft" on the cross with the number 40 on red center. This is probably another Schutzen medal for loyal membership, 40 years. The Maltese cross had some light surface rust on the back, and I used some Q-tips and Hoppes Gun Oil (the original, no additives) to clean and preserve the medal. The Nazi RAD stickpin is maker marked on the back with B S W (Bruder Schneider A. G. - Wein) and also has the "RADJ" (within a downward pointing triangle). I would also like to add that Mikee was correct and the 1902 medal has "UB AUG UND HAND FURS VATERLAND".
