The 2nd Class was worn on a ribbon. The pin-back version of the 1st Class is rarer than the ribbon-mounted version and consequently more sought after by specialist collectors. The Duchy of Anhalt was one of the smaller German federal states in the German Empire – consequently, its awards are rare on the collector's market. Also available: Anhalt Friedrich-Kreuz 2nd Class on ribbon (Item No. 32.919) and Oldenburg Friedrich-August-Kreuz 1st Class (Item No. 32.918).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCombined orders are worthwhile: Combine several items and save on shipping costs!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Militaria-Hoya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53430761947465,"sku":"30160","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9673\/5817\/files\/30.160a.jpg?v=1764569670","url":"https:\/\/www.militaria-hoya.com\/en\/products\/anhalt-1914-friedrich-kreuz-1-wk-orden-abzeichen-an-nadel-deutsches-reich-staaten","provider":"Militaria Hoya","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
