Veteran's Hamburg Field Honor Award
Weimar Republic - Deutsches Feld-Ehrenzeichen Hamburg. The award could be applied for and worn to commemorate service in World War I.

The obverse depicts a centrally placed oval emblem of a battle wary soldier returning home from WWI, surrounded by a beaded golden border above a white enameled pattée style cross and two crossed golden broad swords, all above able a six-pointed star. The full back reverse shows two rivets and reads: “Deutsches Feld-Ehrenzeichen Hamburg 3.” and “Ges. Gesch”. It also has a soldered-on sheet metal hinge, round wire catch and bent round wire pin. There is one wee enamel chip to the top right arm. It measures 2 ½ inches tall by 2 1/8 inches wide.
