Re: what is this?
Hi, and welcome to the forum!
It is a War Merit Cross (Kriegsverdienstkreuz) 1st Class without swords.
A good original example.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: what is this?
any value to it or just something to keep safe at the back of a drawer? It was very nearly binned!
it is stamped 50 on the pin.

Re: what is this?
The "50" on the pin is maker Karl Gschiermeister,Wien. They do have a value,especially boxed. But if it was from a relatives house,do you really want to sell it? These were non-combatant awards. Could this be a family members? Stewy S

Re: what is this?
I am glad you saved it.
It does have a value. Here in the UK they retail at about £150 or there abouts.
See here for the list of makers number codes:

Re: what is this?
My family is all from the Wiltshire, England. No logical explaination where it came from.
I dont have any intrest in medals, athough WW2 is a major interest due to my love of underground bunkers and mines.
I will prob keep it but as a collector myself i cant help think it might be worth allowing someone with an interest to own it instead of it sitting in a drawer.
dont like ebay as good stuff tends to blend in with all the fake!

Re: what is this?
Due to Swaz,obscured or not Ebay would pull it. If i was you i'd keep it for a while. You never know,you may get the collecting bug. Failing that there's a sales section here. Stewy S
