the Weimar Republic, only the diploma was
actually issued.
The Cross and the respective clasps had to
be purchased privately by the recipients.
Only roughly 30.000 Crosses were authorized.
Rare example of the Cross, period produced,
but rather poorly made (manufactured most
likely by a local jeweler).
