TacHel Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The top one (black) is for Service in the Caucasus. It's the 1st class model, the 2nd class cross being outlined in silver in lieu of gold.The red one is a non official award no longer worn. There were a great many non official and unit awards made, they went the way of the Dodo.Check this thread, lots of info on this cross. Cheers!

Zhukov Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 I found this some time ago, I have no idea who owns the picture but as you can see the woman is wearing the black and gold cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
