Eric Stahlhut Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 here's a worn example of a wartime issue piece. vaulted bronze gilt. with only 750 or so awarded, they are becoming rather scarce to find http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2012/post-4736-0-89302300-1339110370.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2012/post-4736-0-35777000-1339110446.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Cole Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I had this one once. Never was 100% sure if it was real or fake being a screw back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deruelle Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Here is a photo of Hauptmann Albrecht Tasche who received the Lippe cross for heroic deed as a Saxon officer. He never received the iron cross 1st class ! Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaba1914 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Vary nice crosses. It seems that the most crosses are from Zimmermann. Regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homerjey Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 @ dond Is your cross flat, it seems to be? Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Yes it is. See this thread: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5180&hl=pin%20back&st=20 Edited June 10, 2012 by dond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I like these better than the standard Prussian Iron Cross. How many of these were awarded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagleorder Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 The number of awards are around 740, as Lippe-Detmold was a small state and the requirements for the Cross for Heroic Deeds were quite stringent. Regards, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homerjey Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have never seen a flat cross! Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It´s an older topic, but nevertheless I would like to add my (complete) set of this merit cross for heroic deeds (cased cross with original award document), which I recently got for my collection. The award documents are usually signed by Prince Leopold IV. himself, as the shown one. Best regards Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
