Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria

Germany, Third Reich, German Cross in Gold, cloth version, Luftwaffe issue, with blue felt backing, maker’s stamp ‘H S’ in white ink on back, an issued example that has been removed from a tunic, good very fine £700-£900

Note: The Luftwaffe type appears to be the scarcest of the three issues (Army, Navy, and Luftwaffe) of the German Cross in gold; although the Navy type was the least awarded, many unissued examples of these were brought back from Navy Clothing Stores by Allied Service personnel at the end of the War.
