Mothers Cross in Bronze (Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter). The Mother’s Cross was introduced by Adolf Hitler on 16 December 1938 as part of a large propaganda campaign aimed at increasing the birth rate. With the Bronze cross for bearing four or five children, the Silver cross for bearing six or seven children and the Gold cross for bearing eight or more. The cross is in mint and unissued condition and comes with its original long sized ribbon and fragile paper tissue as found. This cross originates from the famous 'Deschler' hoard and was simply never issued or opened. The cross is in perfect mint and unissued condition. Nice original cross!
