WWII German Mother's Cross Presentation Case - Gold Grade Emblem

Beskrivelse

This is an original presentation case for the Cross of Honor of the German Mother (Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter), a state decoration conferred by the German Reich during the period of 1938 to 1945. The rectangular case is constructed from a sturdy base material, likely wood or heavy card, and is expertly wrapped in a dark blue, pebbled-texture leatherette. Centered on the lid is a striking, gold-foil embossed representation of the Mother's Cross, featuring the iconic cross pattée with a central sunburst and swastika motif. This specific gold-colored emblem indicates the case was intended for the Gold (1st Class) award. The case exhibits characteristics consistent with period manufacturing, including a push-button release mechanism. In terms of condition, the piece shows signs of age-appropriate wear, with visible scuffing and minor loss of the leatherette finish along the edges and corners. The central gold embossing remains remarkably crisp and retains its original luster. This item represents a significant piece of historical militaria, ideal for collectors of Third Reich awards and ephemera. It is offered in good vintage condition, reflecting its age and history.
