It was called The German Order ... it became known as The Order Of The Dead as it was normally awarded posthumously.

Originals are incredibly rare and extremely valuable.

Here is one on another auction. The First one looks like a cheap replica compared to this one. This one starts at $375.

In the 1970's I met one of the only two who were awarded this and survived the war, Artur Axmann. Tom

I have noticed lately that a number of online auctions have been using the term "unauthenticated" in the description of various items being offered.

"Unauthenticated" is a fancy way of saying "fake."

I think the German Order wins the prize for the number of swastikas on a single award.
