Today I finally found my missing cross for my Hanseatic trio:


They are quite difficult to find in a good state, only 6000 were made I heard.. Hamburg and Bremen are easier.
Here's the complete set:


Have a nice sunday! :)

I agree , it is always nice to find that one missing thing to complete a collection.

Thanks gentlemen,

I am very happy to have found one at last, and in good condition. No damage whatsoever on the enamel,
and with original ribbons.

Thanks Jonas and James,

I also like them a lot. Especially the red enamel is in my opinion very attractive to see.
I have no knowledge how they applied it with those little lines, and it is very easy to damage, mostly you see them with damage....

This is how they look in my collection, but don't look at the dust, must do some serious cleaning, soon!

:)
 
I like these also. I collect flag items when I can .
The flags for Hamburg ; Bremen & Lubeck had these type of medals
with long ribbons attached to their flag poles .
They also had very special Parade Banners to go on their flags .
I have been lucky to get 2 of the 3 .
I have Hamburg and Lubeck Parade Banners .
I will try and post photos of them sometime .
