IRON CROSS – 1914 – 2nd CLASS

Two weeks ago I offered a 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class that had an original safety pin with which to attach it. When I acquired that example, I also acquired a similar piece that I am offering today. This Iron Cross has excellent paint that rates 99% on both the obverse and the reverse. The ribbon measures 2 1/4″ and has an old black safety pin attached. It is a lovely presentation that shows how a soldier would have received his Iron Cross more than ninety-years ago.

  • GERMANY – AWARD DOCUMENT – 1914 IRON CROSS 1st CLASS – FELDWEBEL LEUTNANT – RESERVE-INFANTERIE-REGIMENT NR 212

    SKU: 06-184

    $395.00

    This is a combination of an award document for a 1914 Iron Cross and the actual medal. The document measures 4″ X 6 1/2 “. It is typed on onionskin. The document’s condition is not the greatest. It has some tears. It is complete, however. The award was made to Feldwebel Leutnant Gebhard, who served in Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr 212. It appears he was in a military hospital near Hamburg recovering from wounds he suffered at the Front. The date is 28 December 1915. It is signed at the bottom in purple grease pencil. [I cannot read the accompanying comment, or the writer’s name]. The Iron Cross that goes with it is a very salty, well-used example. It is very slightly vaulted. The paint’s condition is poor. The pair has a lot of character.
