German Post WWI Silesian Eagle First Class w/o Swords Painted Version-This badge was created in 1919, post World War 1. This award was given to the members of the right wing Freikorps Oberland who fought during the Silesian uprising in 1919. This area is now where Poland is located. In order to receive this award, an individual had to have at least 6 months of service. This is a high-quality piece with detailed black paint to the beautiful bronze eagle. The finish is mostly in place on this example, giving it quite a nice bold look. The eagle’s chest holds a painted silvered crescent. The wording translates to “For Silesia” is also attached to the bottom. This is a pinback award, and it functions perfectly. Scarce offering!
