IPT Posted 29 June , 2013 Share Posted 29 June , 2013 CP was apparently the maker's mark for Carl Poellath of Schrobenhausen. Is it this Non combatant version? - http://www.ioffer.com/i/germany-ww1-medal-hindenburg-cross-honor-mkr-cp-1914-8-532583802 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanA Posted 29 June , 2013 Share Posted 29 June , 2013 Mr Gunner is right. If it has a ribbon, the widow's cross has white next to the central red stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
