Medals

Westrussische Befreiungsarmee – Avalov Cross 2nd class (c. 1919) – RRRRR
The West Russian Volunteer Army, or Bermontians, was commanded by Prince Pavel Bermondt-Avalov. Unlike many of the other Entente-backed Russian units on the white side in the Russian Civil War, the West Russian Volunteer Army was in fact created by Germany. It fought in the Baltics and in the Russian Civil War. Its ranks were bolstered by German Freikorps like the Iron Division, the German Legion, Freikorps Roßbach and others. These crosses were awarded to Germans and the black ribbon bears the Russian colors as well as the German imperial colors. Finding an original cross is almost impossible as the few known examples are never seen for sale. To this day, only two original crosses can be found on the internet, this being one of them. Poor fakes, however, are easy to find. This cross, made of solid silver and enamel was made by the firm C.G Ulrich in Hamburg and was awarded to a German volunteer in the Iron Division named Karl Zöller.
