    Mother Cross - 2 Model Vs.1 Model

    When I see a Mother Cross (Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter) for sale on various dealers web-site they are almost always advertised as a 2nd Model. Does anyone have a pic of a 1st Model they could post for comparison, were there any major differences in design?

    John,

    the only difference is on the reverse. The 2nd model has the inscription "16. Dezember 1938" and a facsimilie of Hitler's signature. The 1st model has "Das Kind adelt die Mutter" and a facsimilie of Hitler's signature.

    I have only ever seen one example of a 1st model that I trusted, and I heard about one more for sale. They are very, very rare and seem to be valued at around 50 times the price of a 2nd model. I've seen a couple that look as if they have been re-engraved with the 1st model motto. I've also heard about some having nothing at all on the reverse, but I've never seen a full size one that was blank on the back.

        Hello all,

        What is the price difference between the first pattern and second pattern and how much is the 1st worth?

        Please let me know either way. Thank you.

          There are in fact 3 forms, one with the long inscription, one with no inscription and the dated form. The first is extreemly rare. Price is what one would be asked, 50 times the normal price would not be out of the way.

          The Mothers cross can be found in many othere forms, a 2 3rd pin back miniture. A very rare example on a large ribbon for wear on the uniform.
