Fritz Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 A Prussian Iron Cross 1st class that I got many years ago in London in early 1968. Paid about 2 pounds for it then. It is a convex example with a wide straight pin on a wide hinge, the reverse had orignally a highly polished, plated finish. Alloy with a high silver content and with a magnetic iron core. The cross shows a lot of wear and the frame has opened slightly in some places. This was probably a private purchase example, differing slightly from standard awarded examples. No makers marks. A black wound badge, official issue, original black finish over magnetic iron, with a narrow iron pin. Has also had a lot of wear. No makers marks. Discovered many years ago in a second hand shop near Hamburg, cost about 10 DM in those days. Picture quality not so good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
