The Medal for Manhood and Faith (Barbatie si Credentia) is a Romanian medal instituted by royal decree number 2812 of November 1903, and originally awarded to officers and police agents who demonstrated courage and faith in the performance of their duties, or to any public official or private citizen who contributed to the maintenance or restoration of public order and safety, or who provided important services to the police, or saved the life of a person at the risk of his life, or committed an act of manhood or faith. The Barbatie si Credentia was awarded in three classes, gold, silver and bronze. The two lower classes of the medal were freely awarded to German soldiers in WW2 in the same way German KVK’s were awarded to Romanian soldiers serving alongside German soldiers. Age toning, on original ribbon.
