Title Civilian medal group
Nationality German
Period c 1939-45
Sold

This group comprises the 25 year long service civilian cross, awarded for civil servants, the Social Welfare medal and the Air Raid Protection medal. The Social Welfare outfit was a branch of the German Red Cross and responsible for the care of widows, orphans, wounded veterans and refugees.

All these medals have worked loose from their original mounting by virtue of the cotton thread rotting over the years. I have now secured them in the correct position with three small dressmaker's pins.

The package arrived today, and the two items are nice. The Mother Cross actually looks a lot better in person than in the pics.

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)
