This is the one and only Ostmedaille that resides in my collection. So, with no stamp to be found on the suspension ring, I’ve decided to utilize the database that another member was gracious enough to provide a link for and do a little investigating on my own as to whom I believe the manufacturer was. With looking over various characteristics these medals possess i.e.: various shapes and styles of eagle heads, beaks, feathers and talons and also noticing the serifs and medal outline positioning in relation to the hand grenade and helmet, I’m led to believe this medal was made by the firm: Julius Maurer, Oberstein.

I truly must say that with looking over the various manufacturers’ unique characteristics and styles, I could see myself collecting more of these. Shame on me for only owning one for all of the years I’ve been collecting.

So, in closing, I look forward to those who have more than I and are more knowledgable with these to let me know if I’m correct.
