Chris Boonzaier Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 These were often a "Buy your own" deal... but were popular to pad the medal bar.... the Hungarian one was accompanied by a letter asking the reicipient to bring some friends to apply...

turtle Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The guy above had the EK2, was wounded 3 times, but got the award without swords ?? Here is one with swords... and a note he must pay in advance.... The swords were only authorized in late 1933. So maybe they used up the older documents. I saw one were the words "Mit Schwertern" were stamped onto old documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
