Thanks for the information concerning your great grandfather’s campaign medal.
Are you sure it is one from the 1866 war?The reason I ask is that, being only your great grandfather, he would have had to be born sometime between 1835-1850 to have taken part in the campaign. My own great grandfather served in the Sudan war of the 1880’s and was born in 1858. I was born in 1945 and am 75 years old myself. How old was your relative when he joined the Prussian army?

I have my great grandfather’s certificate but not the medal.
