and on the medaillion : 900 GH for Gebruder Hemmerle, in München...

Since a long time I search this cross, I'm very happy to have found her with the clasp !!!

very nice! i have two of these-one is with the case- and am still hoping to find the clasp some day. :cheers:

I have also one without clasp, but I never found the clasp alone... So I have bought this one... The first I possessed is also from Gebruder Hemmerle, also silver 900/1000. Are these crosses manufactured only by this jeweller ?

I'm interested in a picture of yours, with the box of course !

:cheers:

whew! with a clasp! Nice!!

mhh nice picture. Is it post-1945? I think I see no swastika on the "Third Reich" awards. They then wore again all they had, and like they wanted to - as back in the 20s. :P
