M-013 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 1st 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 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. This unissued example, despite a few
very tiny moth nips to the field grey background, is excellent overall!
