Hi there,
Only 88 of these 1st class awards were presented so if real it's mega rare. Reading this though, I feel pretty certain it's a repro:
Ailsby Collection: Danzig Cross - First Class.
Note the postwar S&L catch.
Regards, Ned.

I am 99% sure its repro. From everything I have looked at. The badge us pretty well built. But way far from actual original examples. this could fool much less advanced collectors who don't have access to a resource like our forum.
Thanks Ned

Hello,
None that I know of.

Too bad. Wonderfully executed variant. Perhaps a prototype. It certainly has the look of a period manufactured cross. One I would love to find.
Thanks for sharing.
cheers
Matt
