Rare Imperial German Conscription Badge (Cavalry) – Pre-WWI Era..
$145.00
An authentic, highly collectible Imperial German Conscription dating to the late 19th Century or early World War I era (circa 1890–1915).
These ornate, multi-piece stamped brass badges were commercial keepsakes purchased by young men to celebrate their draft and entry into military service.
Features: A beautiful stamped brass frame topped by the Imperial German Crown (Kaiserkrone). It still retains its incredibly rare original paper slip insert reading "Cavallerie." (Cavalry), safely secured by the original metal retention tab on the reverse.
Pendant Medal: Suspended from the frame is a brass medal. The obverse depicts the right-facing profile of Kaiser Wilhelm II ("Wilhelm II Deutscher Kaiser König v. Preussen"). The reverse features a commemorative oak branch motif reading "Zur Erinnerung an meine Rekrutierung" (In memory of my recruitment).
Condition: Good antique condition with a beautiful, uncleaned aged patina. The structural components and reverse closure tab are fully intact. The original paper insert shows authentic age toning and minor fraying consistent with its century-plus age, adding excellent character and verified provenance.
