Photo: Iron Cross with Swords - no Honorcross or anything else

[Glider]

Here a something curious - the person on the right side of the photo is wearing an Iron Cross 2nd Class.

If you take a closer look you will see a pair of swords were mounted on the Ribbon.

This single-mount is private purchase, and he (or the tailor) thought it'd look cooler with extra swords. What kind of uniform are they wearing? Not army, I suppose.

Hello Valter,

the two persons are members of the railway. I dont know if Reichsbahn or Preussische Staatsbahn or some other.

[Valter Gorenc]

Thanks Stefan! Certainly in railway there was less control and regulation about the wear of awards than in army.
