Description
Here’s your chance to pick up a very nice German Cross in Gold stickpin. This example is maker marked L/57 on the reverse for Boerger & Co. Interestingly this example had the swastika and gold wreath attached upside down, as the 1941 date is upside down on the top swastika arm. Complete with a period LDO card. A textbook example with great character. The invasion of Russia saw the massive engagement of German troops, and certainly an important increase in acts of bravery. The German Cross was created on 28 September 1941 by Adolf Hitler in order to publicly reward the heroism of the German Legions dispatched to defeat Bolshevism. The Gold class was awarded for repeated acts of bravery or achievement in combat. Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
