Gentlemen,
Although not a cross as defined by our collecting community, allow me to post an item directly ralated to the Knights Cross.
During the Third Reich, the WWI U-Boat Veteran's Association commissioned the Meissen Porcelain Company to produce 91 plates which were presented to U-Boat Commanders who were presented the Knights Cross. Admiral Bauer was the one exception who was presented his "Teller" for developing deployment doctrine for the employment of U-Boats in combat. He was credited for much of their success.
With Meissen only producing 91 "Teller", it certainly makes this the rarest plate produced during the Imperial/Third Reich period.
