A stunning example of the Mother's Cross in Gold (Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter) , awarded to mothers of large families as one of the highest civil honors of the period.
First introduced on 21 May 1939 (Mother's Day in Germany) , the decoration was presented annually on Mother's Day. The gold grade was reserved for mothers with eight or more children , making it the most prestigious class of the award.
This piece is in mint condition , with brilliant enamel and crisp details. It comes with its original long ribbon , beautifully preserved and still vibrant.
