It is a two piece construction, made out of die struck bronze that has been bronze washed and includes blue (translucent), black and white enamel work and has been finished in a protective lacquer coating. The obverse is in the form of a Christian cross and depicts; a centrally place static swastika, that is surrounded by “Der Deutschen Mutter” (The German Mother) and is in front of a sunburst pattern. The full back reverse features a recessed: “16. December 1938” and Hitlers facsimile signatures. The enamel work is beautiful, minor spotting, yet remains 99% 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 comes 13 inches of blue and white rayon ribbon that is tied together at the top. It comes housed in its original issue tan paper packet that has been folded and glued together.
