    Germany 10th Armee News Paper Award Medal.

    This is an award medal for loyal co-operation with the WWI German 10th Armee News Paper. The medal is 44 mm in diameter with a plain edge and looks like it is nickel clad bronze. The obverse has a soldier wearing a WWI style helmet and is signed “P. MAHSKE”. The reverse shows a hand held sword within the legend, “FUER TREUE MITARBEIT. ZEITUNG 10. ARMEE.”

    There actually was a German 10th Army news paper but I would think that a hand held sword might not be the best design for a news paper award. That plus the general look and feel of this medal makes me wonder if this might be a fantasy medal. Has anyone seen one of these before?

      Interesting..some selling on ebay for $8. Also some with "copy" on the face. You will have to do more research to determine authenticity..

      Thanks dav..., I know it is a fake or a fantasy. If it is a fake that means there is an original lurking out there somewhere and I sure would love to find one. If not then it is just a fantasy.

      Thanks Manikin, the newspaper it represents is interesting too. I remember seeing one from 1917 that had an article on Martin Luther and the 400th anniversary of the Reformation.
