The second class medal was for award to personnel who performed a single act of bravery in combat. The cross has a three piece construction and a magnetic core. The cross is maker marked with 'G' indicating prodcution by the 'Godet & Co.' from Berlin. The cross comes with its original ribbon, nicely stored in a privately purchased type presentation case.
