Bravery medals and also KTK were awarded in the field without any box. So if someone returned home he had to buy one.. there was no official box for them, so i think it could be from the end of the war. This type of KTK box is mentioned in article about this cross in phaleristic journal SIGNUM and also in a hungarian book that came out in cca 2016...
It was pretty common in that time that they used the crest, initials of emperor, national colours and the portraits of emperor and his family on everyday used objects as a sign of patriotism....
Dear friends, I need help. I have in my collection this photo with text in czech language on the back side (translated to engl.) : "50. company of moroccan goums". Is it possible to identify the unit and also cca year? thanks

Thank you for all those informations! Does anybody of you collects this thing? I do collect Austria Hungary, so if anyone of you (maybe Robert - Guards Armoured?) would like it, i would send it as a gift...
Dear Friends.
