Uncategorised Red Cross cross

[dond]

Can anyone provide a maker and possible time period when this cross was produced?

Thanks in advance.

_{The cross is called "Offiziers-Ehrenzeichen vom österr. Roten Kreuz mit Kriegsdekoration", established in 1914 and bestowed until 1918.}

_{There were different makers like R. Souval in Vienna and G.A.S. (Gebrüder Scheid Budapest). In most cases you can see the maker with help of the hallmarks on the backside.}

No markings on it at all. I believe some German companies made these as well. What would be a good offer on this award?

Don,

One sold in Kunker last June for 350 euros.

Hope this is of help.

Thanks Paul.

Let's consider an officer's cross with pin like this one, as slightly rarer than the "usual" type with the two hooks and engraved dates.

Here a few pieces from my collection; the "Verdienststern" with Kriegsdekoration (made by Souval); two 1st Classes, one of them for Ladies; an Officer's Cross with KD and a 2nd Class, also with KD.
