    Here is another fantastic medal very rare to find with it's original box.

    It's a SILVER Cross of Merit for Military Chaplains II. CLASS.

    Inside of the box you can see mark to who it was awarded: Ivo Robert Nitz

    Father Nitz does not show up on any of the random K.u.k. Rank Lists that I have, but then he was probably a war's duration volunteer.

    I wonder if the Kriegsarchiv in Vienna has Belohnungsanträge for this Cross?

    Hi Matej, welcome to GMIC :)

    The cross is marked with a star (I have seen more photos), that indicates a later period of war, also the material of box indicates the same...

    And... he was surely not awarde in the first year of war (have looked in Ehrenbuch der O-U wehrmacht :D )
