Cased Gold Mothers Cross

Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.

Here we have a Cased Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter erste Stufe by Wilh. Deumer Kom.-Ges. Lüdenscheid! These crosses were introduced by decree in Berlin on 16 December 1938 by Chancellor of Germany (Reichskanzler) Adolf Hitler. These were awarded to mothers for exceptional merit to the German nation, who conceived and raised eight or more children and exhibited probity, exemplary motherhood. This two piece construction made out of die struck tombak that has been gold gilded and includes blue (translucent), black and white enamel work. The obverse is in the form of a Christian cross and shows; a centrally place static swastika, that is surrounded by "Der Deutschen Mutter" (The German Mother) and is in front of a sunburst pattern. The reverse shows a flat back with a recessed: "16. December 1938" and two styles of Hitlers facsimile signatures. The enamel work is in wonderful shape, being 98%+ intact. If you turn the cross in the light you can see different shades of blue and the gold gilt is beautiful! The cross measures 1 13/16 inches tall by 1 7/16 inches wide. It also comes with approximately 25 inches of original folded blue and white rayon ribbon. The cross sits perfectly within its appropriate case. The case is constructed out of a wood and press cardboard base that has been covered with blue simulated leather. The interior of the top lid of the case is lined in white satin and has an underlying pad. It is also maker marked: "Wilh. Deumer Kom.-Ges. Lüdenscheid", in black print. The bottom interior of the case is made of a white felt covered cardboard and has a separator along with a white cardboard outline, that is ripped about 1 inch to either side. The top has a pressed gilded cross which looks wonderful. The closure button and hinge work well! The exterior shows the odd scuff. The case measures approximately 4 ½ inches long by 2 inches wide by 11/16 of an inch thick. A nice piece to add to your collection!
