Without a photo that's going to be tough, could be an unofficial item from a Schuetzenverein or the like.
-
Not sure on the maker, but clearly a high quality piece.
-
As stated on 'the other forum', I believe this is a WW1-era example.
-
You could be right, as I do not specialise in Baden.
-
Looks good except for a replaced suspension ring.

1914 EKI with Added Spikes
VtwinVince replied to Beau Newman's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Looks like an interwar piece that has been modified. -
I think you're right about the Sudetenland. Looks like a 1914 EK, a FKE and a couple of Wehrmacht LSD's as well.
-
OK, those are the ones I'm familiar with.
-
It's for sure a highly decorated junior officer, so not likely to be identified, but a great combination of awards.
-
Those are quite different from the M1908 Dienstglas I found in a junk store.
-
Could be, pretty difficult to determine, as I have seen the Albrechts-Kreuz displayed in this fashion.
-
Those are nice, I think the first is to an NCO who really got around, the second is nice with the double Hansa combo. I doubt that either is identifiable, however.
-
Nice photo, looks like a pillar of the Wilhelmine community.
-
Thanks Wild Card, and I am familiar with the Klingbeil collection. Super piece!
-
I have Hubrich in my files as credited with 12 victories in the first war and two in the second, making him part of a select club with victories in both conflicts. Major in the Luftwaffe.
-
Well, at least they didn't wind up being besmirched by the Russians in Moscow in 1945.....
-
There are no ring markings on 1870 EK's, unless replaced. You have a nice award piece, I would say core type 'A'.
-
Yup, post-1916 silver-gilt version.
-
From these images it looks OK, with most of the gilding intact. Is that a repair to the reverse of the left side sword hilt?
-
You're right, definitely a Fliegererinnerungsabzeichen. I see some wound badges, so at least late war.
-
I like the engraving, definitely period. I think the cross is postwar, with the coke bottle pin and vaulting.
-
Great photo.
-
LOL, oh ya, that guy.
-
Hmm, cool photo. I think princely types got military rank at age 10, or? If this kid was one of those, I would expect him to be wearing some reduction orders.
-
Neat photo, always nice to see early medal bars in wear.
