German Awards - Badge of Honor of the Saxon Land Association of the Red Cross 3. That is sick

This badge of honor was established around 1922 by the Saxon Land Union of the Red Cross together with the 1st and 2nd. Class "Badge of Honor." The oval medal was awarded for 10 years of faithful and impeccable service in the land club. The 1st grade is a gilded, green enameled knotted cross with a green enameled oak-leafy wreath between the cross sleeves. 2nd class - silver-plated, enameled with green enamel plug cross without an oak wreath. 1st class was assigned after 40 years, 2nd class - after 25 years. The medal shown here is the first form of the 3rd class. There are 2 forms according to the inscription on the reverse side of the coin. The 1st form has on the reverse side a recessed Geneva cross - GES.GES.- and the manufacturer's signature - Glaser & Sohn Dresden -. The second form was introduced around 1930 and has on the reverse side next to the laurel wreath along the edge a raised font of 6 lines - Noble -/- be -/- person -/- useful -/- and -/- good -.
