What is this cross?

[lauraly]

it is quite weighty, looks like it is constructed of a solid brass type metal, multi part construction.

pin at the back is marked with 50 and under the pin it is marked m1/11.


Any info?

IMO a bad fake.

Here is a picture from an original piece (Niemann update).

Thanks for the info it looks like the fake cost a lot more to produce then the original. The original looks like a cheap piece of badly painted tin.

No offense to anyone who owns one.

What was it given out for?

[Jono]

Its the 5th Don Cossack cavalry regiment cross. Unnoficial. Created by pro nazi cossacks serving in the german armed forces

[Ludwig]

Yes, fake it is!
