Claudio Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Reuss, Ehrenkreuz 3. Klasse mit Schwertern ciao, Claudio
Lukasz Gaszewski Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Beautiful items Pinpon and Claudio, I like them very much. Notice that they are all the WWI type on war ribbon (the peacetime ribbon was plain crimson). By coincidence, the war ribbon of Reuß Ehrenkreuz was identical to the peacetime one of Waldeck-Pyrmont's Verdienstkreuz (the war ribbon was white with black-red-gold side stripes). By another coincidence black, red and gold are the national colours of Germany today.
Deruelle Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Salut JB, Very nice item and with its box please Congrats for your purchase. I have exactly the same cross with box too. Claudio, Your cross is incredible, I don't remember you got that one. Did you get the Reuß cross 3rd cl. with swords and crown ? Christophe
Claudio Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Salut Christophe, It's already some years that I have that Ehrenkreuz 3. Kl.. Once I bought a Reuss Ehrenkreuz 3 Kl. with swords and crowns from a German auction house, which has been sold as mint conditions, but the crown has been added quite crudely and I had to send it back... The third class with crown and swords it's quite rare.. here one in a medal bar of General der Infanterie Rudolf GERCKE I badly wanted and bid on it, but unfortunately I wasn't lucky to get it! Ciao, Claudio
Deruelle Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Claudio, Thanks. A remember that group. I try to bid on it too but it was not my day at that time. Christophe
