WW1 German Honour Cross with Swords. Maker G11

Probably one of the most overlooked and under rated of all German medals. the Honour cross or Hindenburg Cross was issued in vast number but with numerous different variants and makers, it makes it an interesting and low budget collectable. It was instituted in the July 1934 by Paul von Hindenburg himself, and by government order, it replaced every other veterans medal issued. This medal is with cross swords, issued only to combatants who fought during WW1.
The number of makers is unknown, but some estimate well over two hundred, many of which, no record survives.
This one is marked with G11 and it is in excellent original condition, retaining all of its bronze finish, and it comes on a small length of original ribbon.
