Reuss Kriegs-Verdienstkreuz

[Ferg1]

Hi Guys, thought you might like a look at this cross. Been in my collection a while, not often encountered in a screw-back form. More likely a post war example. Date numbers ,centre and wreath all applied seperately. Marked twice with 925 back plate in form of cross marked 500 and screw device marked 800.Three different silver grades!! Ferg1.

Hi,

A lovely Meybauer! They produced screwbacks of almost all the pinback crosses; Prussian EK, Meck-Schwerin MVK, Braunschweig KVK, Lippe-Detmold, Schaumburg-Lippe are ones I've seen (or own). I agree, more than likely post-WW1 though. A German dealer had one of these for a reasonable price until recently - it was missing the oakleaf devices though, otherwise I'd have had it.

Thanks for showing this one!

Regards

Mike
