The \u003cstrong\u003ecloth patch\u003c\/strong\u003e (as opposed to the metal version) was sewn directly onto the uniform and is significantly rarer than the metal version. Original cloth patches of the DK in Gold with HK in good condition are among the absolute highlights of any Wehrmacht or SS medal collection and fetch corresponding prices on the international collector's market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBulk order worthwhile: Combine multiple items and save on shipping costs!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Militaria-Hoya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419126063433,"sku":"34117","price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9673\/5817\/files\/34.117a.jpg?v=1764313182","url":"https:\/\/www.militaria-hoya.com\/en\/products\/dk-deutsches-kreuz-in-gold-stoff-aufnaher-mit-hk","provider":"Militaria Hoya","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
