Miniature War Merit Cross 1st Class with Swords (Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse mit Schwerter). The 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz' is instituted on 18 October 1939. The basic criteria for award centered about bravery and service (not in connection with combat). The 9mm tombak miniature is not visible maker marked. The miniature shows stunning details. Nice original miniature. The price is naturally for one example as shown!
