Description: Imperial German, WW1, Extremely Rare, Miniture Pour le Merite. Those awarded a PLM were required to wear it at all times, when in uniform or civilian attire. So typically if awarded this medal a second would be purchased as a wearer’s piece and the original put away as this medal was typically presented by the Kaiser. There were a total of 687 PLM's awarded in the Great War and only a handfull of the awarded transitioned into civilian life. In over 40 years of collecting European Militaria this is only the second miniture PLM I've found. This is an Extremely Rare Medal. There is a picture of Kaiser Wilhelm II in exile wearing Civilian clothing with one of these in his lapel ( see photo ). I have a cased early war PLM listed separately. Check out my other listings for military items mostly from 1837-1919.
