Physical descriptions from Dr. Waldemar Hesse Edler von Hessenthal's and Georg Schreiber's "Die tragbaren Ehrenzeichen des Deutschen Reiches einschliesslich der vormals selbst?ndigen deutschen Staaten sowie des Kaisertums und des Bundesstaates ?sterreich, der Freien Stadt Danzig, des Grossherzogtums Luxemburg, des F?rstentums Liechtenstein und der Ehrenzeichen der NSDAP," Verlag Uniformen-Markt Otto Dietrich, Berlin. Ausgabe April 1940.

"Von Hessenthal and Schreiber" as they are usually combined, were the originators of the scientific collection of German decorations and medals. They introduced weights and measures, differentiated between various types--official and unofficial--and mentioned FAKES existing in their time. Their magnum opus went through many editions, and remains as solidly useful and accurate today as when any edition was published.
