What's this cross for?

[Scott C.]

Anyone have some background info on this cross? The front picture isn't too clear; the words say "Allezeit Bereit" It has a high vault and is beautifully made.

Is it WWI era? Post WWI? Some sort of Reservist badge? Common? Scarce?

Any details would be appreciated.

Thanks.

its a veterans badge!
not that common.
"awarded" after ww1
Allzeit bereit = everytime ready (some sort of this - sorry for my bad translation)
but really a nice cross!

Christian is right. Its a "Ehrenzeichen für ehemalige Kriegsfreiwillige 1914-1918" (Honour badge for former warvoluntary) (or so-sorry for my bad translation too )

I like it too. Nice condition

best,

Thanks -- I sort of figured it was something like that.
