Re: The 1914/1918 Ehrenkreuz
Rule # 32: Enjoy the little things. So, here are some very nice little things.
First, another cluster of three ribbon rolls, representing the 1914 EK II, the 1914/18 Ehrenkreuz and (unless I am mistaken) the Saxon Friedrich-August-Kriegs-Medaille:


A neat 16 mm miniature of the Kriegsteilnehmer cross in fine condition:


Utilizing the same ribbon width of 15 mm, here is a miniature two-place ribbon bar with the Hinterbliebenen Cross and the Prussian Rote-Kreuz-Medaille III. Klasse, showing its age with some patina and fading:


I am especially pleased with this one, both for its neatness and because this is a rather rarely found mounting style: It's a tiny five-place miniature ribbon bar for wear on the lapel of a civilian suit, made from the 8 mm ribbons more commonly used for ribbon bows/rolls.
Tightly sewn down over a one-piece metal frame/button, the ribbons represent the 1914 EK II, the 1914/18 Ehrenkreuz, the Prussian Kreuz für Kriegshilfsdienst, one of the various Prussian or German long-service decorations sharing this blue ribbon and, once again, the Prussian Rote-Kreuz-Medaille III. Klasse:




Finally, just for size comparison, the last three items together with one of my full-sized Honor Crosses:

Re: The 1914/1918 Ehrenkreuz
This has got to be one of the most informative and best presented threads on the forum and all about an award that most collectors (and I include myself here) overlook.
As Andreas' collection proves, this is a fascinating award which has a seemingly endless range of variations and I look forward to the next different piece to be added to the thread.
Thank you to Andreas for the education and opening my eyes to this award.
