Kaiser Wilhelm I Century Medal

.  Still present is the German Medal for Combat in the 1870-1871 War with France, this is the official issue type with writing in German around the edge in Bronze for Combat Medals are made from Captured Enemy Cannon from the Campaign.  The Medal Bar and its Ribbons are original but Worn and there is a small hole drilled at either end, from where it was once displayed on a board  (SEE SCANS).  The Medal Bar has a hook for 4 Medals as well as 2 hooks the other direction for uniform attachment.  The overall size is approximately 5.5 x 1.25 inches (I have scanned the bar next to a Quarter, which is the same size as a one euro coin to better display the size of the Bar)
