Cross of Honor of the German Mother Certificate

I have a leather style portfolio with a portrait of Hitler on one side and a certificate on the other.

The portrait is a drawing similar to the one seen here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Drawing_of_Adolf_Hitler.jpg

The certificate is similar to the one seen here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Mutterkreuz1940.jpg but without the medal and ribbon, seal on the bottom left, or name printed in the middle. It does have a printed image of a swastika on a medal on the top center. It has the signature under "Dur Fuhrer", but no signature on the bottom right.


I am interested in any information on this. I have looked online, but have not been able to find much.

Thanks!

Info

 

I have all three models of those. I also have the golden one in miniature.

It was institued by the third Reich to encourage birth of German children . (the 3rd Reich needed cannon fodder....)

They were awarded to German mothers of German decent.

the bronze one = 4 children

the silver one = 6 children

the golden one 8 children

 

Very nice they are in better condition then the two my father that he had given to me. Nice find!
