Hello People,

I'm looking for this Cross of Mecklenburg. I saw some differents hardware in this type of awards. Are there some rules for this????

Is this Cross original???

This one is from 1920-1940 period. This means this is not an official MVK1.

How should be one of pre-1920? The Hardware is different????

[seeheld]

Yes, correct.

Here you can see two examples of late official Crosses. Late means in this case 1917-1918.

Hello, thanks for your replies.

I think that understand.

The catch is one good way to look if the award is pre-1920.

And this reverse? The catch looks good for me. Is the pin original??? Or replace???

Regards,

This pin is not original... Maybe replaced.

I think if I wanted one example; I would hold out for one that conforms better to known original examples
