    Gosh...O...Gee Wiz, please tell me that there's someone who participates in this section of the forum who knows somethng about these? It's hard to believe that no one seems to.

    This was not meant to be a stumper guys!

    I have been able to find out the following information to share with you:

    Of the 1,687 Pour Le Mérite awarded during the First World War, 122 "silver gilt" oak leaves were awarded. In anyone's book this small 7.25 percent would be considered "ultra rare".
