A GERMAN OVERSIZE IRON CROSS 2nd CLASS 1939

(S51) A Nice example of the Oversized Iron Cross 2nd Class. This is in overall very nice condition although there is a tarnish spot to the right hand arm of the cross at the 3 o clock position where something has been leaning against it. The cross is of standard three piece magnetic construction and has a nice soldering to the frame, with the core retaining virtually all of the paint. The frame has tarnished over the years. The cross originally came with a packet and full length piece of ribbon. The blue paper packet is split and torn and is maker marked Frank & Reif and had a sticker stuck to the back stating it was an oversized iron cross, by a collector at some time, but this has now been removed, leaving the obvious mark. Very nice to acquire, these were designated the knight's Cross in one of the publications at the start of the war, but this was superceded pretty quickly by what we now see. Priced for condition.
