Cased Mothers Cross in Gold (Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter). The Mother’s Cross was introduced by Adolf Hitler on December 16th 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 very good condition and comes with its original long sized ribbon and case of issue. The case is in good condition with some normal usage to the corners. The box is nicely marked by the company of 'Franz Scheurle' from Schwäbisch Gmünd being a rarely seen manufacturer. Nice original set in good used condition!
