    Prussian Red Cross Medal, 1st Class

    Hello! Would be great to hear opinions about this badge, unfortunately only this photos. I read what this badge is very rare, only about 220 was awarded.

          Shure a modern copy.
          The rare originals were strucked by the Berliner Münze, from Silver, the crowns are massiv and not cut out. The structure below the red glass-flow is cut by hand, the crowns gilded. Round silver needle with a solid silver barrel-hinge.
          I will show some pics tomorrow.

          Regards
          Markus

            CSForrester, thank you for the information, first thing I did not like it is needle system.

              Attached pictures of the probably most dangerous fake of these that's out there. Bought it myself some months ago but noticed and could return... so this one's out again.



              Other than the thread starter, this one tries to be an award type made in the Berlin mint - but details just don't match up, if compared close enough.

              Maybe someone can upload them here - just noticed I cannot do it anymore.

                Here are the pics, the first detail that makes it a fake (or in best case a contemporary, not awarded piece for private puchase) are the small crosses on the four crowns. Awarded pieces never, never have cutout crosses !
