German Awards - Union of German Non-Commissioned Officers - Honorary Cross 2. That is sick
The Union of German Non-Commissioned Officers is one of many associations of active or non-service reservists that settled in the Weimar Republic at the turn of the century. Until now, I have not been able to learn anything significant about this association/club. The Confederation has established 2 awards and badges of honor during its existence, respectively. The honorary cross of the 1st class was a knotted cross with a perpendicular pin and an enameled front side. Shown here 2. The class was worn on tape. The timing of the foundation or foundation of the federation is unknown to me. However, it can be assumed that Grade 1 was only awarded to individuals who had acquired outstanding service in and around the club. The 2nd class was probably granted for special services. However, I exclude use as a pure member badge due to rarity. Production was handled by Bonner Flagenfabrik, Bonn am Rhein. Other manufacturers are not known. Crosses were awarded in a case. Miniatures are also known. I would appreciate further information.
