More commonly known as either the "Blücher Star" or the "Hindenburg Star" and obviously only two were ever awarded and these have been lost to time.
As such, the closest a collector is going to get to owning one is to locate and purchase the extremely few examples that we collectors call "Museum" specimens. While I'm not sure if any of these actually made it into museums, they were made to showcase the skills of the manufacturer. These Museum specimens should not be confused with the very common post war copies / fakes.
My "Museum" example is unmarked but made by Steinhauer and Luck. There are no PZK or LDO stamps thus indicating it was made in the early/mid 1930's. Marked 800 on the Star.
Hope you enjoy it.
