Awards of Germany - Badge of Honor of the Angala Land Union of the Red Cross 25 years

The Angolan Land Union of the Red Cross established in 1921 honorary badges for 40, 25 and 10 years of well-deserved activity. The foundation was to be established, as in other national clubs, by 1921. Honorary signs for 40 and 25 years are enameled in white, stored in gold or silver. The badge of honor for 10 years is matte silver plated. Crosses without a year are also known. Unlike other national clubs, Anhalt chose an oak wreath instead of a laurel wreath between the cross sleeves. The Anhalt Land Association of the Red Cross established through the main board of the land association on May 4, 1932 honorary crosses in 3 classes without numbers on the lower cross sleeve. The 1st grade was a gilded neck cross, the 2nd grade was a gilded, green enameled plug cross, and the 3rd grade was a green enameled cross on a ribbon. As a manufacturer, the court engraver Alexander Vollram from Dessau is known. Due to the size of the club, honorifics are very rare.
