unknown medal Admiral Scheer

[Alex K]

Hi all, another unidentified medal on Scheer's bar,  His "Wicki" page list some, but not all, but those listed don't seem to tally with the one indicated, any ideas, also his Iron Crown appears to have the obverse central shield with the F monogram un-enamelled, did they exist?

 

As usual any help appreciated

Dear alex K

That is the order of the crown with swords 4th class. That also explains his crownorder 3rd class with swords on the ring, which were given to any peace-time award which followed a wartime award.

Kind regards, Laurentius
