Eric Stahlhut Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 here's a worn example of a wartime issue piece. vaulted bronze gilt. with only 750 or so awarded, they are becoming rather scarce to find http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2012/post-4736-0-89302300-1339110370.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2012/post-4736-0-35777000-1339110446.jpg
Homerjey Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Hello, a nice cross made from Zimmermann:-) BR Thomas
VtwinVince Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 That's another nice one, Eric. I have a banged up one without the inscription.
Daniel Cole Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I had this one once. Never was 100% sure if it was real or fake being a screw back.
Eric Stahlhut Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 That's another nice one, Eric. I have a banged up one without the inscription. thanks, vince it's my impression that the version without the inscription is even harder to find. i haven't found one yet, but someday one will come my way. cheers!
Homerjey Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Please show us the backside @ Eric Stahlhut thanks, i have to pay the contribution, than i show my collection.
Deruelle Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Here is a photo of Hauptmann Albrecht Tasche who received the Lippe cross for heroic deed as a Saxon officer. He never received the iron cross 1st class ! Christophe

jaba1914 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Vary nice crosses. It seems that the most crosses are from Zimmermann. Regards Alex
dond Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Yes it is. See this thread: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5180&hl=pin%20back&st=20 Edited June 10, 2012 by dond
Paul R Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 I like these better than the standard Prussian Iron Cross. How many of these were awarded?
redeagleorder Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 The number of awards are around 740, as Lippe-Detmold was a small state and the requirements for the Cross for Heroic Deeds were quite stringent. Regards, Matthew
Solomon Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 It´s an older topic, but nevertheless I would like to add my (complete) set of this merit cross for heroic deeds (cased cross with original award document), which I recently got for my collection. The award documents are usually signed by Prince Leopold IV. himself, as the shown one. Best regards Roman
