“Death from the Air”, 1915, uniface iron medal by Arnold Zadikow, skeletal figure of Death holding three zeppelins with ropes, 72mm. Low relief but about extremely fine for issue, very rare (£200-250)

See note below “Frieden”, c. 1916, by the same medallist. The message of the medal is ambiguous but the sentiment may well by an anti-war one.
