    Fake Anhalt Friedrich's Cross, 1. Klasse


    Recommended Posts

    I think this is one of this "fake group" of 1. Class crosses. You can find the crosses from Oldenburg, Braunschweig and Mecklenburg with exactly the same type of pinback. At the moment they appear quite often at ebay. Here are some examples:

    Yikes! An old thread revived from the dim dark pages after almost 3 years!

    Technically, there is no such thing as a pinback Anhalt Friedrich Cross. Some certainly appeared in the 1920s, but they were never official, never officially awarded, so even old ones are only curiosities.

    I had one until a year ago,I traded with Weitze for a pilot badge.He still has it for all to view,it is in my opinion a 1930's piece and not one of the straight pinned copies that Rick is warning us about. Comparing the two you will notice the much sharper and better detail of the front of medal especially the crown. (Weitze's piece) It is in fact from the same die as the ribboned examples. As an aside, I have seen 1930's catalogues S&L or Deumer ,can't remember , showing the first class as a sale item. Ferg1
