Hi,
Research photos on Kärntner Kreuz für Tapferkeit,
The SS Ogruf RAUTER and the SS Gruf GLOBOCNIK received this medal.

Thanks

Hi Thierry,

not sure which grade you are looking for. There was a Bravery cross and there was a Merit cross. Each had first and second class levels. The first class levels were pinbacks.

In any case, here's a Bravery Cross 1st class:

reverse:

(these crosses were very substantial pieces. Quite heavy. This one has a period replaced pin. Looks to be done by the original owner, who obviously didn't want to pay money to have it repaired by a jeweler).

Hi,
these Awards were awarded for the Freiheitskampf. Slovenian forces tried to occupie Kärnten (carinthia). Voluntarian forces were formed to defend Kärnten and they were succesful.
Cheers
