Hello friends

Who knows something about this cross:

- Ribbon?

- original or copy?

- Which German state issued it?

- approximate price rating?

Thank you

Mecklenburg-Schwerin Friedrich-Franz Kreuz 2. Klasse. Seems that this example has a strange finish, as they are usually gold colored.

Friedrich Franz Cross 2. Class is completly wrong!!!! The Friedrich Franz Cross is an other award!

This Cross is the Milit?r-Verdienst-Kreuz 2. Klasse.

Usually the ribbon is lightblue with yellow/red stripes by side. (for combattants), For non-combattants the ribbon is red with lightblue/yellow stripes by side.

Your pictures are not good enough to say is an original or a copy, but my first impression is not so good.

Best regards

Hello Seeheld

Many thanks for the information. Is it possible to post a picture in a better quality than mine of a complete medal (with ribbon). What's the price for such a cross?

Thanks again and best wishes

what's the size and weight of this piece?

I am wondering of this is the 'zinc" version that someone has been overzealous about polishing/cleaning (shudder)?
