RARE Vintage 1982 German / USA 11th Volksmarch Medal Space Shuttle 1st Brigade

A particularly interesting example of a Volksmarch medal. Appears to be German with USA tie-ins.

Medal reads:

1st Brigade 8 ID (M)
Support & Partner Units
International Volksmarch 1982

Interestingly, the space shuttle is marked \"Columbia\" and the medal is much earlier than the Columbia shuttle disaster.

Large heavy metal, marked \"R. Kissing 575 Menden\"
