WW1 German Veterans Honour Cross with Swords – maker O2.

The Honour or Hindenburg Cross with crossed 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 0.2 for Ordenshersteller-Gemeinschaft of Pforzheim. This was the forerunner to the LDO, the Administration of German Orders Manufactures. 0 – 16 numbers are known, all makers in the industrial town of Pforzheim. During the air raids of 1945, the town was almost destroyed and any list of medal makers with it, so who these makers were, may be something we will never know.
It is in excellent original condition, retaining all of its bronze finish and it comes on a piece of original ribbon.
