Bill,
The above cross reference is for a 2nd. class (bronze) with swords.
Your medal is a War Merit Cross 1st. class without swords in it's original, excellent condition case. Approximate value is about $250.- $350. depending on if any code marking on the pin's reverse.
The buckle is a Political Leader. There are two different sizes one each for the service leather and dress brocade belts. Value is about $200.00 for the standard service leather belt and about $500.00 for the slightly smaller brocade belt.
Best regards,
John Pepera
