    Silesian Eagle
    - Was a medal awarded for fighting the
    Silesian Uprisings
    as part of the
    Freikorps Oberland
    during the
    Weimar Republic
    .
    Instituted on the 19 of June 1919 by VI. Armee-Korps
    Generalleutnant
    Friedrich von Friedeburg
    , the
    Silesian Eagle
    fell in two classes, 2nd class for 3 months of service and 1st class for 6 months of service and could be adorned with oak leaves, swords, or both. This medal was one of the few Freikorps awards that were allowed to be worn on uniforms during the
    German
    Third E
    mpire
    after the 1935 ban on unofficial medals. The swords, and oak leaves, denoting additional bravery, merit or service were banned. Many veterans continued wearing them in active military service with the
    German
    Third E
    mpire until 1945
    . Nice!!
    NICE MULTI PART CONSTRUCTION.
    VERY FINE THROUGHOUT WITH A SPOTS OF PAINT WEAR AND AN AGED PATINA FROM ITS 103 YEARS.
    RIBBON COLOR IS STILL RICH WITH A SMALL LIGHTLY OXIDIZED PERIOD NAIL HOLDING THE RIBBON TOP EDGE TOGETHER.
