The cross is not made of gold, it is gilded, it is a WW1 variant, but it is a slightly rarer variant due to the white enamel on the back

if I'm not mistaken, your application has already been confirmed. You are all welcome and I look forward to yours contribution to the group. I aware that fb is not the first choice for many collectors, but somehow it was easiest to create a group there, which common thread should be only Austro-Hungarian decorations. Best regards Dejan
