This little birdie flew in

[Don D.]

A beautiful award even though I think the bird looks more like a pigeon than a falcon. May I present to you my newest addition: the Wilhelm-Ernst Kriegskreuz.

Safely in his nest.

As requested. The Lippe cross is a wearers copy. The Anhalt cross is of course an unofficial 1st class. Never instituted but thought of none the less. You see them advertised in 20-30s catalogs. This one came from the Tony Coleson collection.

The Lippe obverse corresponds to the one in the Godet catalog.
