Crosses Second Class

[pigiorgio]

Hello

I would like to know if the German crosses class II, the numbers of manufacturers have various different shapes of the numbers on the ring of the cross

Thanks and regards.

Your question is a bit difficult to understand; I think there is a language barrier.

The German Cross has no 2. Class. If you are referring to the silver grade, then it is not a second class but rather a class for non-combatants.

Also the German Cross of both grades is marked on the pin, not on the "ring," which again is surely a translation error. But yes, there are different styles of markings known for certain manufacturers -- for example, I believe Deschler had multiple "1" stamps, and I imagine there are others.

Trevor answered his question precisely.

Here, the manufacturer Beck, Hassinger & Co. ('123') had different ring stamps, two, maybe three to be exact...

okay, but why different styles of marking for the same manufacturer?

Perhaps stamps were damaged from overuse. Maybe there was a need for more than just one stamp...many reasons when you think of it.
