I obtained one of each grade. The cross w/o swords is hallmarked 'W' and the one for widows is hallmarked St. & L. The cross with swords is unmarked. I also have the award document for the one with swords, and another bit of ribbon as well. (For Gefr. Steinmetz I also have his EK2 award from 1944, as well as his harbor pass for Nantes and a pass to leave the hospital, which is undated. I can post these on another thread if needed, don't want to hijack this one.)



Forgot the award document -



I could go crazy trying to keep up with all the makers and configurations . . . oh, wait, I already have....

post away guys its not a problem for me ,and it saves me searching ,very nice roger

You've a nice one, with a nice marking to boot. You could make a whole display just with these crosses. Like Harry said, consider their history and significance, and they don't cost much.

Good looking find there, the ribbon looks good i think they look better with a bit of age!..
