Unknown Iron Cross

Would anyone be able to assist in the identification of this award, please? Would it be issued to civilian or military recipients? There is a small fragment of dark, moleskin coloured fabric still attached to the ribbon. Thank you for any assistance.

Regards to all,

Jellytwig.

Its not an Iron cross, its a Prussian War Help Service Cross they were issued from 1916 - 1924 many went to people

who worked in hospitals, invalid homes, immediate post WW1 etc..etc.. also awarded to Red Cross Nurses / helpers.

Military Medical Personal.

The early ones were in Silver, later, like yours in Kreigsmetal, i.e. zink, with a low value for the zink model.
