[QUOTE="Tidball, post: 292972, member: 9776"][b]Maastricht Dutch Medal help please?[/b] Hello Everyone. I picked this up recently... a pretty medal made into a pin or brooch. The photos don't do it justice...but I need some help on its identity. Measures 38.5mm, 3mm thick. It looks like the original reverse center has been erased and re-engraved, then a pin added. Marked on lower rim C. Jehotte f. (Constant Jehotte Made me) What I would like to know is: 1.) Can anyone please tell me what this orignally was.....? 2.) Why re-engraved....(is the current engraving a name (L. Spits) and town (Roermond)? 3.) And metal content. It looks and feels like solid silver but cannot find any metal content markings. Thank you in advance for your help...photos below. [IMG]http://members.aol.com/rah4uboats/maastrichtmedal.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://members.aol.com/rah4uboats/maastrichtmedal2.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
