German west wall medal and issue packet, « Deutsches Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen »
Description
The West Wall medal was awarded to those who designed, built, fortified or served at Germany’s western borders. The award is constructed out of a die struck zinc-alloy base that has been bronze washed. The oval shaped obverse features an embossed profile of a German National eagle, with out-stretched wings clutching a wreathed swastika in its talons, above a crossed spade shovel and broad sword, which is again above a bunker on a hill. This all lies on a smooth field and is surrounded by a laurel leaf wreath that is tied together at the top and bottom. The reverse depicts an embossed inscription reading « Für Arbeit Zum Schutze Deutsch-lands » on a smooth field and is also surrounded by that same laurel leaf wreath that is tied together at the top and bottom. To the top of the badge is an integral loop and ring with its orange and white rayon ribbon. The award comes housed in a tan paper packet. The obverse reads « Deutsches Schutzwall-Ehrenzeichen » in black print. The reverse is maker marked and reads « Carl Poellath Schrobenhausen » in black print, surrounded in a thin rectangular border.
