Hello Malcolm,
here it is: Silver/gild version, awarded from November 1916 until the end of the war. Before 11/16 they were still produced in genuine Gold.
This one is marked 938 (Silver content 938/1000) and a cut W for Johann Wagner & Sohn, Hofjuwelier in Berlin. Others in 938 Silver were made by Sy&Wagner, Godet and Friedländer.
Also an interesting item from WW1 is the Star 1st class Crown-Order with swords, also produced after 11/1916, the "golden" parts like the swords are Silver/gild.
This one was awarded mid 1918 to General der Infanterie Martin Chales de Beaulieu when he retired from active service.
Kind regards
Markus
