Cloth DK in Gold

[Steve Campbell]

Picked up a few items tonight indirectly from a Canadian vet's estate. Among them was this Cloth German Cross in Gold. This one isn't mint by any means. I'm assuming it's good, but I don't have much experience with these. The biggest problem with this one is it is missing the fabric that goes around the outside. i must say though these are nice items. Are the makers known on these? What does everyone think?

[Steve Campbell]

The rear. It still has the paper backing.

Another view.

Yet another view.

A closer shot at the rear.

More.

Another shot.

Looks OK to me!

[Steve Campbell]

But what about the condition. Are these often missing the cloth material around the edge?

[Ludwig]

No, not often, as far as I know.

[Dietrich Maerz]

Is there any original cloth material under the badge. Should be. Or is this color the actual color, like tan?

Looks like there is a little left in the upper right hand corner.

Hello,

A good Heer/Waffen SS example that has seen a few moths.

Very precise moths, I must say. Nicely nibbling around the silver thread.

Doesn't matter, still a good one.

Do you think it is a DAK version?
