Here is a picture of a cased cross presented in a german magazine. The cross is presented as original, but I've been told that this green case isn't.

Sorry, I totally forgot to post the promised pics. As I said, these come from another forum, presented as Harlinghausen cross which he continued to wear during his service in the Bundesluftwaffe.

on this pics he is wearing Panzer Rgt.6 number on the shoulder boards. This pic is prior to 1944 because he don't wear the DK, nevertheless he is already well decorated. medals bar: EK2, 4 years service medal, Oct 38, Afrika, Cruz roja, Medalla de la campa?a. Spanish cross in silver, EK1, LC panzer badge, Panzerkampf badge, Wounded badge, He was awarded the DK, and I suppose he also got the Afrika cuff title.
