A Red-Cross decoration ?Interestingly the card was written by a priest of this group from Dachau in 1942.A death-card from same fleamarket:Just to be sure - she has the Mutterkreuz and the 14-18 cross for widows, right ?Kind regardsRobert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Y Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Looks like a Bavarian Kriegerbund pin. Maybe someone can post a scan of one.You got the old woman spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 The happy Reverend photo must date from 1934/35 since he has his Bavarian Military Merit Order 4X in front of the EK2.Fourth is a bronze Rupprecht Medal, given out in the 1920s for rewarding "K?nigstreu" types--quite scarce. The last medal is probably the Hiungarian WW1 Commemorative Medal.I've GOT one of those Bavarian Kriegerbund crosses... somewhere. Don't think I ever scanned it. Pale blue enamel around the center, with a lion in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Kev-- yup, but you see the Bavarian award having precedence dates it to that roughly 18 months possible period when a Hindenburg might have been received but before the Iron Cross was assigned its final primary position.
