Thanks for the info.,but I'm in West Texas!Its kind of ironic my second language is German,and everyone around here speaks Spanish.If I recall,the years are ingrained in the awards.Mine would be 1975.I don't see how you could get a duplicate unless they were to make one special.They are kind of large.The shooting medal has the rope,while the efficiency badge is almost the same sans rope.

Ft Bliss has a German LNO office if I remember correctly. They may be able to help.

xarmydog, I´m 2nd Lt of the German Luftwaffe Reserve, and I may help you. I earned the Schützenschnur in bronze when I was a Warrant Officer, and since I became Lt, I´m no longer allowed to wear it on my uniform (officers don´t need awards to show that they´re great in shooting ;-).

I also got the "Leistungsabzeichen" in gold, I think you called it efficiency badge.

So, tell me what you need, and I´m trying to get it for you.
