(J1424) A nice mid war Silver War Merit Cross 1st Class with Swords. The cross is of nice condition and appears to have been chemically treated by it's original owner so that the silver wreath and swastika are brighter and the rest of the cross is a matt colour. The reverse is complete with it's pin and hook and I can see no maker's marks anywhere. Very attractively done. These crosses were the equivalent to an Iron Cross 1st Class and were given for bravery in the
field in the face of the enemy but not in combat. GBP £125.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K6) A nice Early War Merit Cross 1st Class With Swords. The cross is the early nickel silvered type and has a few tarnish spots onto the cross as can be seen from the scan. The cross is an early issue award of nice quality metal and apart from the tarnish marks, the cross would have been classed as very good condition. Priced for these GBP £125.00 (UK Pounds)
