Attractive - and actually scarcely found! - silver-toned- (and I deem typical 'Buntmetall'-based!) 17-mm. sized miniature of a so-called: 'Langemarck-Kreuz des 26. Reserve-Korps' that comes in a wonderful condition

This is an attractive - and actually scarcely found! - miniature, silver-toned- (hollow-styled- and I deem typical 'Buntmetall'-based) so-called: 'Langemarck-Kreuz des 26. Reserve-Korps' being a very nicely preserved example that comes in a wonderful- (and totally untouched-), condition. The 'Langemarck Cross' was institutioned with the approval of Adolf Hitler in 1933 by the 'Comradeship of the Green Corps' (being the former: '26. Reserve Korps e.V. Köln'). This 'Green Corps' was a group (ie. association) comprising of former WWI-period 'Langemarck'-fighters. The reserve infantry regiments numbered '233 - 240' as well as the foot-artillery regiments numbered: '51' and '52' were eligible to receive this attractive award. The name 'Green Corps' originated from the green ribbons that were worn around the shoulderboards. The battle of Langemarck - being a small village in Flanders/Belgium - took place on October 21, 1914 and was later made into a TR-myth and was glorified as the “sacrifice of the German youth”. The miniature piece on offer here is sized: 1,7 cms. and comes in a wonderful condition overall and was simply never cleaned nor polished: it retains all its (minimally tarnished) silver-toned finish and comes mounted onto its (fully unaltered and functional) long-sized pin (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply a nice occasion to acquire an attractive - and fully untouched! - example of a 17-mm-version of a 'Langemarck-Kreuz des 26. Reserve-Korps': I deem that I have priced this attractive example, accordingly!
