Hanseatic Cross Bremen

[Wilko]

A new addition for my collection is this Bremen Hanseatic Cross.

There is a little ingrained dirt that shows at the top of the key and a small crack in the enamel.

This was a spur of the moment purchase which is most unlike me and hope I made a good one .

Nice one, Ken.
That's two out of three.

Thanks Greg, I brought this one on the spur of the moment, glad it's a good one as I am out of my comfort zone once I depart from EK's.

The age of the cross looks great and there are no chips to the enamel, just a hair line crack that's under the surface.

I feel that a Lübeck cross might be a tall order but I will not give up.

Hi Ken.
For me it is a very good example. Enamel looks perfect.
Don't be discouraged if you are looking for a Lübeck Hanseatic Cross. From time to time there are some for sale in good or even very good condition. The former sponsor of the Forum, TOMPRESS SHOP has a pretty nice one for 118 USD right now

My apologies: Out of stock

Thanks Santi,

I simply love these Hanseatic crosses, they are just so beautifully made.
I will keep my eye out for one.

That's a nice cross, and not so common. I made a point of finding all three with the corresponding award documents. The ultimate is finding all three on a medal bar.

Santi might have ribbons to match.

This was sold a few years ago. It is a wonder....



The three of them really are true jewels. I think I remember that the Red Baron had won the three Hanseatic crosses.

Indeed I have some ribbon bars, but NO with the three ribbons together

Thank you VtwinVince, the search is on for the last in the trio.

My word Santi, what a collection. You have just left me in awe of such a sight, what it must feel like to have such wonders in hand. Stunning collection that I think we would all like to aim for.
