Good Morning, Friends...

I would be very grateful for your help in identifying this Screw-Back Enameled Cross, please...It's obviously Medical-Related, but that's about all I can figure out...
Your Thoughts & Opinions are appreciated...
cheers, Glenn

Glenn,
I have not seen anything like it before. Judging from the quality, I would
hazard a guess that it is not an offical award but it still very well may be
peroid made. The date reminds me very nuch of the Prussian Maiden's cross.

I would feel better about it if I had seen one before but having said that,
if it were mine, I would definitely hang on to it until something more could
be found out about it.
