M-013a  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 Knight’s 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 light toning) with the date 1941 is placed. This is piped in a silver twist cord. The background, in two shades of field grey, is in the pattern of a breast star. This is highlighted with bright silver bullion. The reverse features a black paper for reinforcement. This is a choice example of this desirable award!
