    What are these crosses?

    Friend of mine recently scored this photo and is looking for info on the two crosses I circled. Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    Chris,


    Lower Cross is the "Deutsches Feld-Ehrenzeichen," made in Hamburg, the piece commemorated service in WW1.



    It was popular from 1931-35 as it denoted war service without requiring membership in other veteran organizations.


    Sometimes seen worn on early SA and early SS uniforms but not popular with the Stahlhelm, Kyfhauserbund, and Reichskriegerbund, subsequently banned in November of 1935.

      The other looks like some kind of veterans/reunion pin as well.
