Karl~Truppenkreuz.

[S.ChrisKelly]

Instituted by Karl I of Austria~Hungary on 13 December 1916.  Unfortunately, like many other awards, most, if not nearly all, were struck in zinc due to wartime exigencies.

From my collection:

 

 

Hallmark on the first cross, on the left, "HMA", made in Vienna.

 

 

Hallmark on the dark cross in the center, "W&A" ~ "Winter & Adler".

I particularly like the box.  It has a recess for the ribbon and the cross is complete and seemingly unworn.

 

Nice!
