This award could be worn either as a breast pin or from a white ribbon with a central blue band and blue stripes near the edge of the ribbon. The Baltic Cross was instituted in the summer of 1919 by the "Baltische Nationalausschuss"in commemoration of the Baltic liberation fights in 1918-1919in Sudivland and Kurland.

The Baltic Cross was recognized as an official German award on 16 May, 1933. This cross is in very good condition, and carries the makers mark of the only identified maker for them, Paul Meybauer.
