M-013 Army Deutsches Kreuz (German Cross) in Gold,
Cloth Example
This example, in gold, was awarded for outstanding achievement in
combat. It was instituted by Hitler to recognize a degree of bravery or service
above that of the Iron Cross First Class, but not sufficient to warrant award of
the Knights Cross. It features a central black swastika, outlined in bright
silver, over a white field. The white field is piped in a red cloth, over which
a gilt oak leaf wreath (with moderate toning) with the date 1941 is placed. This
is piped in a silver twist cord. The background, in two shades of field grey,
are in the pattern of a breast star. This is highlighted with bright silver
bullion. The reverse features a black paper for reinforcement, which is maker
stamped in white. There is moderate mothing to the outer field grey backing. A
sound, representative example!
