Hi Vince,

and Sachsen.

The Militärverdienstkreuz 3. Klasse mit Krone und Schwertern

Another form of Kuban Shield citation

 

Thank you; I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on this.

You are welcome. I really like to solve mysteries

Dear fellow collectors

To me the award looked a bit like the Steckkreuz für Treue Dienste from Schaumburg-lippe, the cross 1st class. The arms seem less wide than those of the Iron cross, and we see a small emblem in the center of the cross, which could very well be the capital 'A' on the cross. I will attach some pictures.

Kind regards, Laurentius

 

Sorry, but this is not possible. The Schaumburg-Lippe cross od 1st class was only awarded to princely persons (36 pieces awarded). The Braunschweig cross 1st class is most likely here (in my opinion )

This phantasy stamp "Jude Warschau" is frequently used to stamp different items for sale on eBay. I.e. very common and well used paper money, post cards etc. The text itself has no any sense.

Tomasz

The signature on first citation is of Karl Guth, Hauptgeschäftsführer der Reichsgruppe Industrie.

I have similiar document, the signature is stamped fascimile.
