€ 275,00
A fine original example of the German Iron Cross 1st Class, instituted in 1939. This classic three-piece construction features a magnetic iron core with black finish, displaying the 1939 date and central swastika, set within a silvered frame with a well-defined beaded edge.
The cross is unmarked, which is not uncommon for wartime production examples. Based on the hardware and overall construction, this piece can most likely be attributed to Paul Meybauer, Berlin and is a early one
The cross shows an attractive, untouched patina with light age-related wear, consistent with an original wartime piece. The core retains much of its original black finish, while the frame shows natural toning.
