have had this laying around for years and never really knew what it was. I'm assuming a Hindeburg naval cross? Any help would be great. Thanks, Paul

Reds, it is as Don stated a Flanders Cross.
A Weimar award not sanctioned during the Third Reich period.
I have seen it refered to as Marinekorps Flandern Ehren-und Erinnerungskreuz.

It is a commemorative type award, not official, for the honor and memory of the Naval corps of Flanders.

Saw one listed for E60,00

I recently picked up a miniature. The fine detail that is there will not come through on the scanner. Here is what I can show.
