Title Iron Cross, 1st class, 1939
Nationality German
Period c 1939

The clue to this quite well made modern copy is the rough finish to the edges of the silver frame, showing extensive rough file marks (never found on an original), plus the position of the sharp pin on the reverse (within the diameter of the 'nut' rather than beyond it, as is always the case with originals).

testimonials

I received the silver Verdienstkreuz this morning. Your swiftness and dedication was very much appreciated and, though the envelope arrived with a Post Office sticker saying it had been found open or damaged, the cross was unharmed and looks beautiful. Thanks for your time.

I am just dropping your company a line to say thank you for the 2nd WW Iron Cross, that my brother has purchased off your site Thursday evening. We received it 1st class today and it is in excellent condition. Many thanks again.
