jaba1914 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) While watching the Lippe-Detmold war merit cross 1st class thread I remind on my Mecklenburg-Strelitz cross 1st class. There are many mistakes about this cross and number of awards. But it is not my intention to start a discussion about this. I love this breast crosses and I would like to see yours.

Alan Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hi Guys, Would I be correct in saying that this piece would be a post war Zimmermann? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompress Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hi, the pin seems to be a little different? (Zimmermann's needle is flat). Could you post a straight picture of the back? Another question: in the book by Henning Volle (Stiftungen und Erneurenungen von deutschen Ehrenzeichen im Ersten Weltkrieg, issued 2014) we cand find information, that Zimmermann took manufacturing of these crosses possibly no later than begining of 1918. So not all Zimmermann pieces are postwar. regards Tomasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tompress Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Unmarked crosses in this thread have at least three different needle mountings. Your seems to be same type as shown above by Homerjey. Here is mine, like this one posted by dond. regards Tomasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is mine, like this one posted by dond. regards Tomasz I would have to agree with you it is like the type Homerjey posted and compared with my Mecklenburg Schwerin 1. Kl by Zimmermann I think it looks pretty good. I was also reading this older thread from 2008.. Edited July 15, 2017 by Alan Grammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
