. .(E902) A nice second pattern German Cross in gold contained in the vacuum style case. The cross is a used an worn example and athough it has some scratching, there are no chips to it. The cross has the nice coupal effect to the silver star and has the hinge and the hook countersunk into the base. The cross is the nice marked 20 style which is found under the pin to the reverse. There is some minor wear and tear as to be expected, to the blackened over star giving way to the bronzed interior below it. This gives the star a very nice effect and I actually believe that someone has removed this to give the star more contrast. The case that the cross comes in is the type without a press stud. It is in very nice over all condition, although the black flocking base that holds the star has lost most of the black flocked material leaving it bare to the black paper base. The white undersilk padded liner is clean, although darkened with age. The case exterior is in vgc with the usual handling wear, although there is no impression of a gold line around the edge. All in all, a nice used example.

the outside of the case is also clean. The card outer cover is in fragile condition and has lost one edge flap. The other

(G1332) An Iron Cross 1st Class in Case of Issue in near mint condition. The case is the domed type and the outside of the case is in nice condition. The inside shows some staining and toning, but this is to be expected of an item over 60 years old. It really isn't that bad. The cross is the non magnetic type often associated with the maker 15 and this is marked as such, for Fredrich Orth. This can be found on the pin to the reverse of the cross. The cross itself retains all of it's black paint finish and has a nice frosted and burnished frame. Very hard to find crosses in this condition now. GBP £325.00 (UK Pounds) |
(E1454) A bar to the Iron Cross being in very nice condition. The clasp is the earlier style with frosting and
burnishing although this has now toned. It is believed the manufacturer for this cross is the Deumer style and it comes
in an original paper packet which has been rubber stamped stating "Bar to the Iron Cross 1939" To the reverse,
it has the maker's name "Wilh Deumer, Ludenshcheid " printed in black. Although the packet is period,
the stamping may well be later and only goes with the Bar as protection.
GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)

(G1389) A Cased Iron Cross 1st Class by the maker No. 4. The cross being of third reich manufacture, is in fact an imperial 1914 issue and is one of the official Steinhauer replacements. The cross retains all it's frosted and beaded finish and also the iron centre retains all of it's blackened finish. The soldering on the edge of the cross is very good but there is some gaps between the inner v's. It is not splitting as such, it is just not soldered up on these arms, as all four are the same. The black paint that has been applied, has been done via the paint dipping technique where the cross was finished and then dipped and then the wax coating to the silver frame was burnt off as the paint was hardened, which is of standard manufacture of this type. The case which is the flat type, and has rounded corners, has the award in stencilled outline to the lid. The box has a steel hinge and is openend by a magnetic press stud and has a white silk lid and has a white hinge covering which has split approximately halfway across. The white flocked base is nice and clean and the case would have been put down as near mint had it not been for the hinge silk covering split. The cross though is virtually mint. A nice item that was picked up at the end of the war and has been stored away in a drawer until now. GBP £325.00 (UK Pounds)
