Mike Dunn Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Here is something I have had for a while now. I find it with a 1914 bar and crown but not without one. This one is casedand wihtout them. I was wondering if they were the same or two different grades for the award. mike
Eric Stahlhut Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) hiya mike, this thread prolly belongs over on the imperial section. anyways! a similar volunteer medical cross was first issued during the 1870/71 war with france. that version is devoid of a crown un the upper arm of the cross, and had straight angled arms. there was an 1870/71 bar for it.your version was instituted in 1901 and can be found alone (like yours), with a '1914' bar, and with the silver crown and the '1914' bar. so i guess there were three grades.the version with both the bar and crown is very rare.

redcross Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 while the bar and crown are rare,when buying - do make certainthat the bar and crown were issuedand are not upgrades by the frankenstein medal bar folksI was offered one once thatused a Belgian crown and whenI pointed this out, I was told it wasa very <g> rare variation

Wild Card Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Gentlemen,For comparison, here is an 1870 cross. Yes, the border of the center medallion is black, not blue.
