Jacques Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 This is a new Honor cross for Next of Kin. Mounting not original to the cross but just for display. jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 reverse of this very rare cross. It has been awarded only 315 times. Note as fine the cross and eagles are detailed. the swasticas are sharply cut out. the bronze colour is typical of this manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe campbell Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 exceptional! what? a hundred times rarer than the Knight's Cross, and moreso because of KC duplicates. this has always been one of my favorite TR medals. you are fortunate to have three... but then you ARE jacques, king of the Condors!! joe :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Indeed Joe, it has been less awarded than the RK, but fortunatly it doesn't interest to much the collectors. I sold the third one few years ago. It was cased. It is one of my favorite too..it retains a nice design with a very coloured ribbon. Happy New year jacques exceptional! what? a hundred times rarer than the Knight's Cross, and moreso because of KC duplicates. this has always been one of my favorite TR medals. you are fortunate to have three... but then you ARE jacques, king of the Condors!! joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
