Yep, they screw everything ...

Then there is definitely no possibility of this being a virgins cross..... ;-)

But there must be a better english expression for this... it was afterall not meant to be "Virgins"

Tom Young had a superd one of these a few years ago....

In German the title of a woman changes from Fr?ulein to Frau when she is married.

In formal Court-German that would be from Jungfrau to Frau.

Hence, to make it clear that the award is available to both, married and unmarried women, it was added "f?r Frauen und Jungfrauen" (plural).

Thats pretty close to what I thought of as well....

but there must also be an Olde English Word from back then .... "Maiden" or something along those lines....?

I used to know a guy that sold fake women.. to the guys doing long stints on the oil rigs in Aberdeen, sure they were all virgins as well or those big oil workers would have taken him along for the ride instead (literally)

p.s. any multi-super moderator please feel free to cut my post and paste in on WAF :unsure:

I am surprised about the large number of experts for these decoration!

Nimmergut says there were at least minimum two jewelers who procuded this decoration, Godet and Wagner. The unsharp red cross with narrow arms is not very nice, but also known on KO with Red Cross made by Godet.

I disagree with the public and i think the cross is a period original item.

Hmmmm.... I would rather save my money and wait for a different one......

[dond]

I seem to remember a discussion about a PKO with the Red Cross device mounted on it a while back. If I remember correctly the discussion went that the device was bad. For some reason this red cross on the award above reminds me of that but I cannot find the thread.

spotted this one for comparison today.

The 8s and the 7s really show the difference, not only in their shapes but also the "chasing".
