spolei Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hello, this cross belongs to the bavarian Red Cross between the two wars. The ribbon is blue with two white stripes. http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.richardajordan.com%2FRed_Cross%2FGraphics%2Fbavaria03a.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.richardajordan.com%2FRed_Cross%2FBavariaRedCross.html&h=300&w=157&tbnid=0gOPIHP7Ld8CBM%3A&zoom=1&docid=9JZWY_S9032ENM&ei=wdz9U9DHNuu_ygOIvYHYCQ&tbm=isch&client=firefox-a&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1382&page=4&start=104&ndsp=37&ved=0CCEQrQMwCThk regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Lambert this is very much a guess but the cross looks quite similar to the obverse Bavarian Cross for Military Medical Volunteers with the exception of the Crown, possibly a Weimar period piece. I suspect that the German buffs will call me a dickkopf.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambert Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Thanks Andreas and PaulYes, it was a lot of help, actually I did not know this variety of Red Cross Medal. I now have to evaluate better. Can I then assume that it is not as common as well? Lambert Edited August 27, 2014 by lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÖSTA Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Hallo, Looks Bavarian. Could it also be from Baden? Edited August 27, 2014 by ÖSTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no numbers, bur this cross is not rare. @ Paul you are not a "Dickkopf", your suspicion was right. regards Andreas Edited August 27, 2014 by spolei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
