Hi Dante!

It is with swords like the picture below:

And here are the other two crosses,

left for "Kriegsteilnhmer", right for "Witwen und Waisen".

Dante-- the job titles were what the person was at the time of receiving the Cross.

Here's a noncombatant ("war participant") document--

Oberstleutnant aD Alois Louis was a pensioned off Bavarian amputee. This was made out with the wrong first name-- he sent it back-- they got his first name wrong again,

so finally he signed and dated it with the correct name himself!
