Lot no. 6528

1919, large format envelope "Heeressache" with violet two-line "Kommando der Truppen im Kaukasus" (Command of troops in the Caucasus) on reverse, sent from Berlin June 24, 1919 to Georg Mestemacher. It contained the document about the award of the Tamara medal to him, issued by the Georgian government on December 13, 1918, opened out for display, some folds and imperfections, a very rare and interesting letter including the award certificate, detailed certificate Haspel BPP The Tamara medal was originally founded in 1915 to award it to members of the Georgian Legion, a Germany inspired military unit mostly staffed with Georgians (maximum 1200). Only a few Germans served in this unit. Because the Georgian government could not finance the manufacturing of the medal the persons received only the document and could produce the medal at their own expense.
