(MC711) A War Merit Cross 1st Class With Swords being a maker marked No. 3 example with silver plating over base zinc. This has oxidised giving the cross a two toned appearance. This type of cross was often given for acts of bravery, not in the face of the enemy, who carried out things like tank recovery etc. This type is often found on the Deumer medal boards and I believe this is where it came from. GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)

 (T238) A late war example of a War Merit Cross 1st Class With Swords. The cross is marked 65 to the pin and has a cast in hinge and hook. The silver wash to the zinc is retained in places, whereas in others, it is just a dark grey, so the badge could do with a mild clean. The award was given for acts of bravery, not in the face of the enemy, and as such, is a non combatant iron cross. Nice to find and reasonably priced. GBP £99.00 (UK Pounds)
