Superb printed purple silk ribbon, 15“ x 2½“, commemorating the Battle of Tanga. Text as above surmounts an image of St. Michael slaying the British Lion and beneath the caption, “Sieg über die Engländer 3-5 Novb, 1914. Zum Besten des Roten Kreuzes.” Printed in black. Creased across twice from where folded, will most likely press, but otherwise in fine condition. Verlag von Amsler & Ruthard, Berlin, 1914.
An extremely unusual souvenir celebrating Germany’s initial success in East Africa, in exceptional condition.
