WH (Heeres) 'Gebirgsjäger'-related item: a semi-official, commemorative-medal (aka: 'Url') depicting a representation of the famous '5. Gebirgsjäger-Division'-related, 'Gams'-symbol and text: 'Le. Kol./Geb.Jäg. Rgt. 100 - 1945'

This is an attractive - and actually quite rarely found! - golden-bronze-toned- and/or - I deem - typical bronze-based, WH (Heeres) 'Gebirgsjäger'-related item: a semi-official, commemorative-medal (aka: 'Url' or: luck-bringer) depicting a representation of the famous '5. Gebirgsjäger-Division'-related, 'Gams'-symbol coupled with the text: 'Le. Kol. / Geb.Jäg. Rgt. 100 - 1945' and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit clearly used- ie. worn-), condition. The oval-shaped piece (approximately sized: 4 x 2,7 cms.) depicts an illustration of the divisional-symbol of the '5. Gebirgsjäger-Division' (being a 'Gams'). On its back it shows a comical representation of a mountain-trooper with donkey coupled with the text: 'Westalpen - Italien'. The piece is constructed from (quite heavy-weight) golden-bronze toned bronze (ie. copper?) and shows most of its 'golden-bronze-like' finish: it has really nice and/or pronounced detail. There is not much known about these commemorative 'medals' but they were most certainly highly desirable 'souvenir'-pieces that could be won by the soldiers active in this war-area (even that late in the war ie. in 1945!). In any case is this a very attractive - and without doubt scarcely seen! - 'Gebirgsjäger'-related item that comes not that often for sale!
