It's an Honor Cross for combatants in World War One, and in that condition I'd say it's worth about $15-$20.

Like all awards, guess there are a number of makers contracted to make the award. Sure someone will tell you whom made this one in good time.

G17 is an unknown maker. Nice cross though.

Here's a link to a list of makers, I do not know if this one is up-to-date and if all makers are mentioned.

Hi ,Thanks for that link!! As its a big help!

[Steve Campbell]

You'll see alot of these turn up on medal bars. It commemerates WW1 fighters but I don't think it was instituted till about 1934. It's aften called a Hindenberg Cross although thats not the official name. It's available with and without swords and there is also one for widows or family members that is black in color.
