Nice original.

[all1knew]

Can somebody please explain the differences between the first and second patterns? Is it just the progression of the die flaw?

It is the shape of the outer rays and the thread used for the rays.

Nice and good, but why SS? Why Sturmgeschütz?

[Dietrich Maerz]

Because it is grey color.

Nice looking Hermann Schmuck & Cie. cross.

Hi,
....I see a brown colour...
Maybe it's my pc....

Nice and good, but why SS? Why Sturmgeschütz?

Yes, good question. We're there any rules on which "color" of cloth German Cross a recipient could wear based on his organization or branch of the service? None,that I am aware.

[Dietrich Maerz]

It is maybe not so much a question of a rule but why there is a grey, blue, green, field-grey, luftwaffe, .black, ... cloth background. Because that there is a grey ( and other) background is a fact. And that there is a grey uniform for the Waffen-SS and Sturmgeschütz is also a fact. It is normal for any soldier to use the color ofthe uniform for the background of the cloth version (but examples where this is not the case do exist).
And grey exists because of the uniforms of the Waffen-SS and Sturmgeschützabteilungen, rule or no rule.

[Calvin Hall]

Yeah, that was my point. The recipient could choose to wear whatever color he thought looked best on his tunic. As you mentioned there is plenty of photographic evidence of that happening.

Thank you for your help, so because the thread is more silver than white like on this Luft cross?
