Faithful Service Cross with War Merit Cross ribbon

[Bob Hudson]

I picked up this collection of Imperial and TR German items that were handed down through the German family that migrated to Southern California.  

 

Note that there is a Faithful Service Cross  with a War Merit Cross ribbon. I'm assuming someone over the decades took a loose ribbon and attached it to a ribbonless cross:

The pin is marked 800  - the catch was replaced:  I found a photo of san identical piece showing what the original catch looked like.

Nothing. I have found others online just like this: no maker's mark and a non-tapered, barely-pointed pin with the 800 silver mark.

Nice group.  At least an authentic German ribbon made it on there!
