IMO, the Mothers Cross is very under appreciated and undervalued with Collectors due to their importance in TR Culture. Please post your Crosses!

Hi Erich,

May be it's undervalued, but I think there are various collectors with mother crosses in their collections. Here are mines, I'm waiting a bronze one in good condition to complete the trio.

Very nice miniature you have, I'm looking for the miniatures too.

Ricardo, congratulations on obtaining your bronze.

Here are my two miniatures. In silver and bronze. Yet to locate that "just right for me" gold example.

The silver is marked L/53 the bronze is unmarked.

For sure, a very attractive award.
Their relative low value reflects the fact that they were mass produced, common decorations.
Here are my 3, I store the ribbons as they don't fit in well with my display.

Anyone have examples of the miniature broach? Or the rosette?

The die is interesting indeed. I assume a cross shaped die piece stamped out the mothers cross through your die base.
