    Colonial Order of the Lion 2nd Class in bronze
    Size approx: 45 x 47 mm
    1922 German Colonial Warrior League
    Shows wear but majority of details are still visible
    Good condition for its age
    It was awarded to Germans who had done valuable work for the colonies . The second class in bronze was worn on the medal bar.
    The award was an eight pointed star badge worn on the left breast showing a lion and palm tree over a Sudwester hat and crossed swords over oak leaves. Above the lion was the script "
    Für Verdienste um die Kolonien
    ".
    As an award of the Colonial League rather than one instituted by the state it had no official status.
