[Above: Blut und Boden medal (it was presented on a ribbon). It says: 'Reiehsnährstand' and 'Landesbauernschaft Hessen-Nassau' (State Farmers' Union Hesse-Nassau). Oddly, 'Reiehsnährstand' seems to be spelled wrong, it should be 'Reichsnährstand'. It is extremely rare to find errors like this on Third Reich stuff. Even though this medal is from a reputable auction site, you have to wonder if it could be a fake? Anyway, the Reichsnährstand was an agricultural organization. Click to enlarge.]
