Gents, my new addition to my collection.......a post war "Ehrenzeichen des Deutschen Rote Kreuz. Kreuz 1. Klasse" or 1st class Cross of the German Red Cross (neck order). I would imagine this is a St u L made award and probably an earlyish made piece, how does one date these piece's ?
In good condition for age, with wonderful enameling and detail, but sadly with a hairline crack on its front right arm, although I do not think it detracts from its overall appearance..........Strangely not in the 1957 regulations list of awards, as it has been stated by a moderator on another forum when showing his DRK awards, thanks Nigel. Although the Third Reich period award clearly had a wreath and swastika below the eagle.
Prost ! Steve.
