I am looking for a good grafic of a WWI Iron Cross like those used by Barron Von Rithoffen's Flying Circus. Can you help me?

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,
Have you tried the reference section of the computer game, RED BARON (either "2" or "3D")?
They used a passably good graphic showing the awards, both 1st Class & 2nd Class...

There are usually good shots of things like these on eBay.

Bob Gauert:
The ratios of the Iron Cross are: H=height and width; B=base width of the arm= .4H; R=radius of the curve of the arm=1.3H. example, 500 mm cross, H=500mm,
B = 500 x.4 = 200 mm,(100mm each side of the vertical and hoizontal center-lines.)
R = 1.3 x 500mm = 650 mm radius from the center-lines through the tip of the cross arm.
