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).

Just to let you know that the bayonets arrived safely this morning and I am extremely happy! They are everything that I had hoped they would be, but better! I am extremely pleased that i purchased them from you. The 1867 Albini ... is an absolute beauty, the blade is immaculate. The other is in fact in far better condition that I had imagined as well. So all in all, I couldn't be happier! Many thanks Chris.

I very much look forward to doing business with you again in the near future.
