      It is quasi-official, Hamburg-WW I veteran's "honor- field-decoration", often referred-to as "The Hamburg Cross".

        I take it these were awarded after the 1st world war because the Box is of the Third Reich period. Interesting Badge and better made than many Third Reich awards.

          Agree! A Very interesting badge. Could you please tell me what the “asking price” is for it now?

            The correct name for this badge is Deutsches Feld-Ehrenzeichen. The referrence of it being a specific Hamburg related decoration is new to me, but I'm always open for new information .

              You have been following my posts. Naw this ones a keeper with some sentimental value from my days in Germany in the 1980s. Im not sure what they are valued at and never took the time to learn the History.They all are made in Hamburg and have Hamburg 3 on the backside but you are correct on its name. I wonder if it was a stahlhelm award?

                      Hi John.

                      My response was related to Robert's i.e. this badge being an actual Hamburg branch of a Veteran's Association. I don't know which organisation instituted
                      this badge, but I would love learn more about it.

                        There you go my friend:
                        The German field decoration (also Hamburg field decorations called), was a "non-official honor" during the Weimar Republic. On an underground of grey metal jets a white enamel cross was applied with gilded blade between the arms of the cross. The Medaillon made of grey metal, set in a gilded wreath/ring, shows a completely equipped soldier. The signature on the back has the following text: "German field Ehrenzeichen/Ges.Gesch./Hamburg 11"
