Identification help please

[Eric Gaumann]

Gentlemen,

I'd appreciate some help in identifying these awards please. But what I would like most is their full or official title in the original German including class distinction. In other words Prussische Eiserns Kreuz Erste klasse or Bayerische Kreigsverdienst Kreuze drittes klasse etc.

As you can see my command of the German language is very limited so I seek some hilfe from friends here.

Thanks in advance.

Nice little grouping. Is it actually a group, or just a selection from a collection?

[Eric Gaumann]

Thanks for your help SPM. Exactly what I need.

Rick, it's not a group per say, just part of my collection.

Speaking of which, here's part 2 of said collection since yesterday there were some issues with posting here at the Gentleman's club.

One more thing; what's "Steckkreuz" mean?

Thanks again all.

Hello again Eric:

"Steckkreuz" means "cross with a pin" or "pin-backed cross".

I will identify the other items for you in German later today (if someone else doesn't beat me to it).

Best regards,

"SPM"

Hello again Eric: "Steckkreuz" means "cross with a pin" or "pin-backed cross".
