    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.

    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.

    while the bar and crown are rare,

    when buying - do make certain

    that the bar and crown were issued

    and are not upgrades by the

    frankenstein medal bar folks

    I was offered one once that

    used a Belgian crown and when

    I pointed this out, I was told it was

    a very <g> rare variation

    Gentlemen,

    .......................................Yes, the border of the center medallion is black, not blue.

    Indeed it is Dark Blue NOT black.
