BLOOD ORDER FIRST TYPE - NUMBER "603"
SOLD!
Incredibly rare First Pattern Blood Order.
This medal is an iconic and extremely desirable political award, extremely rare, and missing from many advanced collections. This is a lovely example that appears to have been actually worn on a uniform. It is made of 900 silver (90 percent pure silver) and retains a lot of great luster, with some typical age toning to recessed areas. The medal shows wear, it has clean, crisp surfaces, and retains much original detail. There are some typical small nicks to the edges; the overall condition is excellent. This first pattern Blood Order medal is complete with its original ribbon, with a stitched buttonhole. The ribbon shows honest wear and use, with expected age toning . The buttonhole has been reinforced with hand stitching to affix this to a uniform pocket button. The lower reverse of the medal bears the name of the manufacturer (Josef Fuess in Munich), is stamped “990” for the silver content, and is numbered “603”, a very low number!
Research on this number has shown that this award was issued to Josef Gell, but we didn't make any further research on the owner.
Overall, this first pattern Blood Order is an excellent, named example of what was one of the very most highly regarded awards during the Third Reich.
A top piece for every collector.
