Is there a Deschler & Sohn prototype for the Mother’s Cross? Was this a master prototype that Descler then modified? Is this too good to be true? I stumbled across this on a retail site and can’t find it in past forum threads. I am including the original description with a alleged letter from Deschler affirming the claim.

My translation, provided by Google, is "This design differs from the realized form of the mother from the Cross considerably. It consists of a blue enamelled cross with applied roses , in the background the glory with swastika. The suspension of purchases from one held by a child tape labeled "The German Mother ". Bronze gilt, multipart manufactured with enamelled lettering. Back is missing the support fixture. Below is the confirmation of the former owner of the company Deschler & Sohn Munich, 27.2.2008, that the work model of the mother cross was manufactured before 1945 at Deschler and served as sampling. High Interestingly prototype of great rarity."

Could it be that Deschler made the first die or modified this prototype to create a standard design that everyone else emulated?

I am doing this on a mobile device and my image options are somewhat limited. I have tried to remove the retail site name and it has distorted the image in a few places. I apologize for the quality.
