Militärische Medaille

 Military Honor Decoration 2nd Class

silver, 25mm

Prussian Military Honour Decoration 2nd Class, 1888-1918, Kaiser Wilhelm W over R cypher (Wilhelm Rex) on the obverse and KRIEGS VERDIENST (War Service) within a wreath on the reverse, silver metal, 

 rare medal, not the more common KRIEGER VERDIENST,  The  Military Honor Medal [Krieger-Verdienstmedaille] shows the two line inscription: "Kriegs Verdienst" (“Military Merit”) and is mounted on a combat ribbon.

This Second Class award with the unusual variation of having the motto "Kriegs Verdienst" rather than the usual "Krieger Verdienst". It also has a more decorated monogram than usually seen on the Kriegerverdienstmedaille. These may be variations made by a private manufacturer, and thus this particular example was probably worn by one of Prussia or Germany's European Officers .
