First World War, Manfred von Richofen, German air ace, large iron medal, undated and unsigned, but perhaps a memorial issue by Ball, Berlin, bust in high relief right, reverse eagle pouncing on a dragon, ich oder dv above, 110mm. Extremely fine and rare (£100-120)

An impressive medal, modelled in the powerful style so typical of much German medallic art of the time.
