As far as I know, there were at least 2 variants of this thing, with and without swords, both neck badges. Going purely from memory, Awaloff fled to Denmark around 1920, which is when he founded his 'Order' and dished it out to those who had fought with him against the Reds in the Baltic. The entire German Iron Division had come under his command the year before, so many Germans would have qualified for the award. I've only ever seen one for sale (the eBay one above) which was part of a large Freikorps group, including miniatures, which sold individually for mega-bucks. Awaloff Crosses are shown in Huesken's and Niemann's references, the latter having a third 'variant' of the cross with swords shown at the top of this thread. It's interesting that when Awaloff created his 'Order', he used stock ribbon as already described above. However, the cross at the top has a different style ribbon, with the Imperial Russian colours on one side and the Imperial German colours on the other, which would make sense. I do not like the cross at the top of the thread.......but could it possibly be original???
