EK 1914 1914 Combatant Iron Cross awarded to Women
Naxos replied to Naxos's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I found the accounts of E. Scherhans and L. von Versen - regarding their Iron Cross award, written in their own words (btw, in 1936 both got also awarded the Hindenburg Cross with swords). If you are still interested, I will post the accounts here. -

Here are some images on cardboard taken between 1916 and 1923

I have some "Hartpappe backing" photographs from during and after the war but they all without exception have the photographers studio embossed or printed on the cardboard. Also the cardboard is a different type. The cardboard backing on the eBay photograph is not legit IMO. I believe it is a modern copy.

I think The initials SW or WS are not of a wife to a king or even a Grand-Duke - since the five pearl pointed crown indicates the lowest nobility rank. More likely a gift to an officer with the above initials.
-
the first heraldic crown (Rangkrone) is a king's crown - the second with the 5 points and pearls is a German nobility crown.
