'Ehrenkreuz der deutschen Mutter - Erste Stufe' (or: golden-class mothers'-cross) that comes mounted on its confectioned ribbon. The award has been used and worn but nevertheless retains a fully preserved enamelled surface without showing any defaults: the piece shows some age, wear and staining. Of interest is the fact that this example comes mounted on its neatly pre-confectioned ribbon (that retains its period-attached safety-pin intended to wear this piece on a dress or even tunic).
