I don´t know wich order this is
If anybody can tell me i´ll be very grateful

Hi,


Very nice and historical grouping.

Your badge is not an Iron Cross as some might think - the bottom leg of the cross is considerably longer than an EK.

It is part of the regalia associated with the Tuetonic Order. Like many insignia of various orders it comes in various classes - neck orders, grand crosses, breast badges etc.

Are there any markings on the badge? That would help determine its origin/date of manufacture.

How come he was not executed after the war?

According to the article, he was used as a witness in the prosecution of the Nuremberg trials. He was later convicted of politically motivated murders and died in prison in 1972.

Thanks fo rthe pictures. Some of the Tuetonic orders are maker marked.

The silber EK is quite rare. I only know of a few original ones.

Is the core of the KC magnetic? Looks as if it is made of zinc?

All items now in the next Ratisbon's auction, good luck!

It hurts that i have to give the grouping in to an auction. But in the moment i need a lot of money. I tried to sell the whole group together, but unfortunately it does not work. Believe me it is very hard for me to do that.
Some items i will not sell.
Especially his diary and family documents will not be sold
