Ehrenkreuz der Deutsche Mutter Dritte Stufe, Original or Replica?
Hello all, don't have reference book with these, can you tell if original or replica, thanks for your time.
Looks ok to me. A bit of a soft strike on the reverse but a nice example IMHO. Haven found an example with the exact same font on the obverse (short leg of the "N" and small "C") but there were a number of makers of this award. Nice enameling.
Happy to be correct by those who know more about these than I.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

3 classes of these Mother Crosses are to be found ...yours is a bronze Medal.
1st Class Order, Gold Cross: eligible mothers with eight or more children
2nd Class Order, Silver Cross: eligible mothers with six to seven children
3rd Class Order, Bronze Cross: eligible mothers with four to five children
also some history to read about these Beautiful crosses > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_..._German_Mother
The most common found are the Gold and the Bronze types.....the Silver not easily found but a complete set is a great start to any collection.
Prices vary upon condition.

Agree. While I don't actively look for these, I have a number of bronze and gold but have yet to stumble across a silver at a show...by Larry C

thanks to all for the quick reply.
The ribbon looks good to me. I have been informed that from the edge, there should be a white stripe, then three blue threads and then four white threads with 12 blue in the middle.
A nice cross the bronze on the front is stunning. What is the spot on the swaz a chip?
yes, looked at it under a magnifying glass, a chip.
