part of a lot im getting rid of is a cross, which is some sort of lowly world war one cross.
unfortunately i cannot upload photographs anywhere (and it keeps crashing my broadband connection whenever i try!!!), so ill do my best to describe it.
its a bronze coloured maltese cross, on the obverse of which is a circle in the centre, containing an eagle with wings outstretched (a lot like a prussian eagle to my eye), the left arm with the date 1914, the right with 1918. there are two crossed swords at the top of the upper arm.
the reverse is plain, except for within the central circle is embossed 'ehren-bunds deutsch weltkriegs-teilnehmer' and beneath the letters e.v.
i canot post any pics to photobucket nor any other hosting site (no idea why) and so im hoping someone here can solve this mystery.
ive searched here there everywhere (and google) but the no avail.
thanks for your time guys
