Hussars Medal?

Question

I've seen a medal impressed:

Heinr.Kock.Hus.MGI

Now, I can work out that the guy's name is Heinrich Kock and that the Hus probably means he was an Hussar. But the MGI has me scratching my head. Any ideas?

It's a Brunswick Waterloo medal so, obviously a German medal and comes way before the era of machine guns! :)

Answer 1

Can you tell us from which country the medal was issued?

The most often encountered military medals found impressed (on the rim) are British (with the exception of the WW2 Series).

Can you say if its actual impression or engraving??

Or even link to a picture, as its the best way to id medals.

Heinr. Kock. sounds German or Austrian.

Hus. could refer to Hussars, but most Cavalry Units were converted to Armour in WW2.

M.G.I. I have not come across before, but if M.G. it would mean Machine Gun.
