Re: The 1914/1918 Ehrenkreuz
Forgive the repetition as I have shown these items before, but I took a new "group photo" of them for another thread (Hindenburg Cross - Parade Mount at War relics forum ) and decided to add it here as well, as this illustrates all three classes and four different mounting styles:

I'm sure nobody would mind watching again these beauties
Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377

No need to ask for forgiveness mate
Re: The 1914/1918 Ehrenkreuz
Thanks for the kind words! Just fresh from the mail, I now have something new to share as well. Small, but rather nice and quite unusual:
Measuring 30 mm in width, this is a miniature buttonhole "ribbon bar" for civilian wear with the 1914 EK2, Hamburger Hanseatenkreuz and the 1914/18 Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer. However, as you can see, this is not the usual "ribbon roll": The ribbons are represented in metal and enamel!
Re: The 1914/1918 Ehrenkreuz
Absolutley fascinating ! I want one

Wow Andreas! I've never seen one of those before.
Re: The 1914/1918 Ehrenkreuz
Wow that's something i never seen before.
Well done.
Re: The 1914/1918 Ehrenkreuz
OP, excellent thread. Very informative and great pics the underrated decoration, as you mention.
Thanks for taking the time. Certainly made me appreciate my WWI Ehrenkreuz and EKII even more ... if thats possible.

Yes, these enamel ribbon bars are quite rare and don't come up for sale very often. It's the only one I have, too. (So far.)
