Mother's Cross, Silver

[DHewett]

Silver Mother's Cross with a small "ribbonette" of some type. Opinions?

[saladin]

I havn't come across a cross like this before especially with the ribbon colour variation but I like it.
The signature on the back looks different is there any chance of a good close up?
All the best

Doug, thanks for the reply! The ribbon variation IS strange. But here is the close up. Thanks for helping out. Im new to collecting and appreciate the help and guidance.

Looks good to me.
What is the condition of the blue enamel? is it nice and translucent?

[DHewett]

No chips or scuffs. Its a nice deep blue color.

Try and get an angled picture so you can see through the enamel..that will be the conclusive proof

[DHewett]

Hope this helps.

Maybe the mother was from Bayern and demanded a speciall ribbon just for her MC?
The ribbon is for the Bayern Militärverdienstkreuz

[DHewett]

Haha maybe

The ribbon is indeed wrong for this medal. Did see this more often on mc just a way to make it sell better but not the style they wear it

The ribbon is from the WWI Bavarian Military Merit Medal
