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.

  • IRON CROSS – 1914 – 1st CLASS – LOW VAULTED – .930 SILVER HALLMARKED – ORIGINAL PRESENTATION CASE

    SKU: 09-835

    $895.00

    IRON CROSS – 1914 – 1st CLASS – LOW VAULTED – .930 SILVER HALLMARKED – ORIGINAL PRESENTATION CASE

    This is an ultra high-quality 1914 Iron Cross 1st Class. It is a very low vaulted example. Its silver frame has marvelous beading with a lovely patina. The paint rates at nearly 100%. The reverse sports a fine swollen pin, which shows signs of having been pressed into a tunic where it was worn. The pin is “wavy,” probably from piercing a uniform rather than using sewn-in loops. Under the pin is hallmarking for .930 silver. This is unusual, but that IS the hallmarking. The catch at the bottom that holds the pin is more delicately designed. This beautiful Iron Cross is housed in an early-war presentation case. Substantial wear shows on the case’s outer lid. That said, a decal for the 1914 Iron Cross was affixed, which has a small bit missing on its right arm, but is mostly intact. Inside the case we see the standard silk upper half, and a velvet lower half fitted to accommodate the Iron Cross’s pin. The Iron Cross fits into the case like a hand into a glove.
