Where did you buy it ? May be it could give us an indication of in which country it could surface again. I'll be in Kassel soon, and keep an eye on. jacques

a new one: Oberwachtmeister Helmut Hennig

The cross is an original Meybauer. As far as know, Meybauer crosses without swords had the swords removed whatever the MM, crest or L/13. jacques

CHE, I think you're right, it is a Juncker one. The 3 crosses look the same manufacture.

I was thinging to a Meybauer but the more I'm looking, the more it looks to a Juncker.

Do you mean that the tank displayed at the Panzermuseum in Munster isn't an original ?

It looks good to me too, but can you get better pics? jacques

an overview

Gold cross, could be a Juncker or Meybauer manufacture

S**t ! I even never noticed it. So indeed, ranks didn't play a role. It could be depend on the importance of the played role during the civil war.

J. Angolia, in his book, on p.14, "the non-combattant award was rendered in accordance with position (rank), with the higher ranking officers receiving the silver spanish cross without swords". I don't know where he got this information, may be on observation of several documents. Does somebody here own or know a document for the bronze cross without sword attributed to an officer, or a silver cross without swords attributed to an NCO? jacques

De M?lder, the pic came with 2 albums

he is wearing the silver class.
