My cross of the Baltic one 1 ª class.

[manu1972]

Hello, comrades. Here I you present my cross of the Freikorps of the Baltic one of the first class. In very good condition as podeis to see. I would like opinions about she. And especially, to check that it is a question of an original copy. It was bought in the shop Militariabc (Barcelona). The experts are not great in decorations of the bodies German Francs and he would be grateful for any positive or negative opinion.
Regards. Manuel.

The trefoil cross looks like a pre-1945 style. But, judging from the pin and catch, I'd say it's post-1945. Therefore, to a purist Freikorps collector, it's not a cross they would want in their collection.

I agree with the '57 pin setup.

A nice cross, but the hardware tells us it's a 1960's S&L (or possibly Souval) piece!!!

Hi,

"... Baltic one of the first class"

And it is not the first class.

There is only one class, with a ribbon or as a cross like this is shown here. Both are the same class.
