Hallo Carol I & b737
![]() thanks for the very quick replies, with regard the two silver ones, one with ball ring mount and the other with hoop mount any ideas as to if originals? or WW2 era?? I would also like to know a little about the criteria for the awarding the cross, was it strictly an "Other Ranks" award, seperate from Officers? And do the three have any individual monetary value as such? Kevin in Deva ![]() |

Since WWI the Military Virtue Cross was the highest military decoration for the lower ranks (equivalent to the Order of Michael the Brave for the officers).
The first one appears to have poor details on the wreath. Even the medallion seems to have an odd appearance, but it is hard to tell whether it is the result of poor execution or of damage. ![]() ![]() The second one is more detailed, but seems to lack the ornamental lines in the "trough" around the arms of the cross that were mentioned earlier in the thread. ![]() ![]() |

This is other pieces of Military Virtue Cross.
It's typical WW2 issued pieces. Mi http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/14/yz31.jpg/ ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us This post has been edited by mihai on June 28, 2013 03:34 am |
