Good pair of seldom-encountered German medals commemorating the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, includes: brass medal in the form of an Iron Cross, 1 1/4' square, bearing the title 'Mit Gott fur King und Vaterland' ('With God for King and Fatherland'), with the date '1870/71'. Fitted with a brass suspension loop retaining a second steel loop at top. WITH: stamped metal veteran's organization medal, 1 1/2' square, in the form of a rounded Maltese cross with the legend 'Kriegerverein Norddinker 1878' at center, identifying the organization. Retains a small suspension ribbon at top. Both show minor oxidation and soiling, else very good. We cannot identify either of these medals in our research, and believe that they are likely privately-purchased.
