Clean example of Bavarian merit cross, no swords, no crown. On original silk ribbon. (NB: Gold finish only.) This award would typically have been given to doctors or senior nursing sisters for the care of the wounded. Front line service would have had swords in place on the ribbon ring or the cross itself.

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
