Commemorative medal issued in 1982 by the Reservisten-Kameradschaft (RK) of Kornwestheim, a West German veteran reserve association linked to former Bundeswehr and Luftwaffe personnel.
This eye-catching postwar medal features:
A three-color German ribbon (black, red, yellow) mounted to a top bar inscribed “Reservisten-Kameradschaft Kornwestheim 1982” with a Luftwaffe eagle motif
A large wreath badge in gold and silver finish with a cold war-era jet fighter at center (likely representing a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter or similar aircraft of the Bundeswehr)
A tripartite coat of arms above the wreath showing U.S., German federal, and local Württemberg symbols — highlighting the close NATO association at the time
These medals were often distributed during veteran marches, reunions or shooting events, and served as keepsakes of postwar military fellowship and NATO solidarity.
Condition: Very good with slight toning to metal, ribbon is intact and vibrant, pin-back functional
