RARE FREIKORPS KNIGHTS CROSS

This is a very nice and rare Freikorps Knights Cross which is nicely stamped 800 on the ribbon ring and on the cross itself. A very nice item to have in the collection.

The German Knight's Cross (German: Deutschritter-Kreuz) was an award of the German Freikorps which existed after the close of the First World War. The award was created in 1919 and was designed by Captain Alfred von Randow. Known alternatively as the "Randow Cross", the decoration was issued mainly to members of the Free Corps formation "Volunteer Detachment von Randow" (Freiwilligen Detachement von Randow) which had been raised in January 1919 for security in the Baltic region.
