odd EK miniature

[Chopperman]

Here is a 18mm miniature EK.

The cross is a typical souvenier/patriotic piece. But look at
the ribbon. It's a 25mm "hand stitched" American flag.

My best guess is that given that the dates are pre 1917, that
this cross was worn by someone in one of the several German-
American social clubs active in the US around that time.

Hi Greg, what a great item A real piece of history. I wonder how many survived?

Cheers,

Richard.

Thanks Richard.

I doubt that the ribbon came with the cross but was more
likely made by or added by the person who wore this piece.
