PKZ crosses were the original crosses awarded and had a maker number stamped on them, in this case a 26 for BH Mayer. If the awardee required another cross he had to privately purchase one and these were LDO marked, prefixed by an 'L/'. So in the case of a Mayer it would have an L/18 stamp on it.
They would also come with a case with LDO as in your example.

Do some searches and you will find much more info
