Austro-Hungarian Empire: Large Gold Tapferkeit"
(Bravery) Medal - Large Gold, 1st Class.
With "K" device on the ribbon, indicating award to
Officer.
Kaiser Franz Joseph issue.
This was the ultimate bravery award for NCOs
(Non Commissioned officers) and other ranks.
Since Sep. 1917 the Gold Tapferkeit could also be
awarded to Officers when their acts of bravery
didn't justify the award of the Military Order of
Maria Theresa.
In such cases a "K" device (for Kaiser Karl) was
added on the ribbon - such as in this example.
This is an unmarked, gilt, privately made example
of the medal.
A VERY rare medal.
