    Mothers Cross.

    Hi Guys, I came across this possible oddity (or variant) or Repro the other day.
    A Bronze Mothers Cross with Fuhrer signature on back not incused engraved.
    Any and all comments appreciated.

      Hello Pete,
      I believe this is referred to as a first issue. They are not common and expensive. You may be able to find more info in this section.

        It's a fake cross first issue are the one's with das kind adelt die mutter on the back.

        This one has the raised inscription the whit enamel is too wide the arms too short. All in all a poor repro cross

            Hi Pete,

            Sorry, but this one is a fake. Many things wrong with this one as eraser mentioned: overall shape, too wide a field of white enamel and too narrow a field of blue enamel, plus an inscription in relief is never a good sign for these.

            Best regards,
            Tom

              Thanks.

              Thanks Ralph, Eraser, Nick and Tom. I'll pass this info on to the original owner.
              The back inscription appears like what you would find from a casting with the raised lettering instead of the incused engraving.
              Thanks again,
              Pete
