Ben Posted February 11, 2023 Share #1 Posted February 11, 2023 I am not sure if these are real but here's what I have. A German Fire Brigade Medal, German Social Welfare Cross, Bronze German mothers cross, and what is labeled as a War Marriott Cross. This one is different as it has the attachments to be a knights cross of the war merit cross, and it is gold with swords. I am aware that these were planned and manufactured, but never awarded as the war had ended. I am wondering if these are real and any help is appreciated.https://image.invaluable.com/housePhotos/Blackwell/89/740389/H20388-L316719835_original.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppy Picker Posted February 11, 2023 Share #2 Posted February 11, 2023 Maybe the mother’s cross is good. I don’t have much confidence in the other 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattS Posted February 20, 2023 Share #4 Posted February 20, 2023 The "War Marriott Cross" is probably a repro of the Knight's Cross of the War Merit Cross missing the ribbon. Reddick sells these complete for $23: https://www.reddickmilitaria.com/german-ww2-militaria-war-merit-cross-awards/third-reich-knights-cross-of-the-war-merit-in-gold-with-swords/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppy Picker Posted February 20, 2023 Share #5 Posted February 20, 2023 I’ve had several KC of WMC and there are several fine details that the one present does not have. Its definitely a repro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
