Hello my fellow collectors.
I have a few questions if anyone can help me with because I might be able to buy one soon direct from family throw antique shop.
It´s a red cross 3rd model badge, Merit cross with pinback. It´s in case in good condition. There is a award document with it but I have not seen it yet, only the medal with the case.
The owner is known but I have no clue what the price for these go for these days
In Detlev Niemann price guide from 2009-2010, the medal is priced like this:
- German Red Cross Honor Badge 3rd Model, Merit cross, pinback cross = 850€
- Case = 250€
- Document = 200€
Total 1100€ (without document)
Total 1300€ (with document)
I also saw this cross with case at emedal for 1390€

I don´t know when emedals sold it but it looks like the price is going a little bit up.
So here is my questions:
1.How much do you guys think I have to pay for that cross today if recipient is known?
2. Is the price going up? (Because the shop gave me a price that I think is a bit high and I´m wondering if I am paying too much for the cross & case)
3. How rare is this cross today? (I don´t see it often for sale)
I know some collectors don´t like to talk about the value of items here but it is important for me. Because I´m a low budget collector and every € counts in my case.
Thanks in advance, Hlynur.
