Such a crazy find! I cannot find anything on it, but I would guess WWII era
It has seen better days, but looks real.Neat. It's WWI.
Prussian Merit Cross, instituted 5 December 1916 and awarded for patriotic war aid service, without regard to status or rank. Assuming it's genuine and not a copy, of course. It should have this on the reverse, and I'm surprised you didn't show it to help identification (if it does in fact have the correct reverse):

Thank you Red-Coat! The reason I did not include the reverse is because it is exactly the same as the obverse. Both sides are identical. I found that this is a later version of the medal. Thank you again for identifying it. I appreciate it!Neat. It's WWI.
