    That's right: Hitler was indeed awarded the Bavarian Militärverdienstkreuz III. Klasse mit Schwertern [Military Merit Cross III. Class with Swords] on 17 September 1917, yet, like his Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse [Iron Cross II. Class] (awarded 2 Dec. 1914) and his Dienstauszeichnung III. Klasse [Long Service Award III. Class] (awarded on 25 August 1918), he did not wear it.
    From his WWI service, he only wore his Eisernes Kreuz I. Klasse [Iron Cross I. Class] (awarded 4 Aug. 1918) and his Verwundetenabzeichen in schwarz [Wound Badge in Black] (awarded 18 May 1918).

    Terry...nice medal, boxed is a bonus....there were also peacetime versions of these awards without the swords, and late on in the war they were made from zinc with a grey finish..see here for more information... de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milit%C3%A4rverdienstorden_(Bayern)

    Prost ! Steve.
