Red Cross Neck order

[michael leone]

Just picked her up after a two year period of dealings with a fellow collector. I think this is the second variation of this decoration, just prior to it being replaced by the social welfare series. Just wish I had a case!
Well, something to hunt for at the Max this fall. Hope you enjoy the images,,,,,,and,,,,if anyone has a case they don't want,,you have an interested party.

Mor views, I have always enjoyed looking at these awards, as a member of the medical community, they have been an award series I wanted to study and obtain examples of,including the award documents. Hopefully someone else can add to the thread with some images of their examples of the awards and documents.

The crosses in view,the second class award is highly vaulted, I think these were made by Godet, as most literature suggests .

These are among my favorite medals: the Red Cross and Socila Welfare series.

I have looked for the ribbon bar, with device, for decades, without success.

I have a question regarding the ribbon bar, does the first class have the distinction of having the metal wreath with swaz. Only,. and the lesser classes have different ribbons?
I have the cased example of the second class and it has the red white ribbon as shown in my thread. Thanks for your help,mike
