Ten of the repordetly known to be exist 20 are documented in my book "The German Cross". Since the publication date I could collect photos and data of several more. They are really something!

Based on Maerz's book and my research, we now have data of 19 of 20 GC in Diamond.
Each of them has been assigned with our unique reference code, eg, Bob Hritz's one is GCiD #03/20. This Tiger1's one now been assigned with GCiD # 17/20).

The DK is one of the most amazing Award of the 3rd Reich indeed, both in desing and Construction.

But this type, witht he added diamonds, this is just incredible amazing.

Tony, I remember seeing this at the SOS some years ago, and it was stunning to examine in hand, and I appreciate you showing it to me! Thanks for posting the pics of this gem.

Thanks Trevor.
I wish it was mine. I brokered this piece about a dozen years ago. I did have the pleasure to have it in my care for a several months until it sold. An exceptional piece of craftsmsnship and the ironic unfulfilled history as they were never awarded.
