A German Second War Iron Cross First Class.
A mint unissued example of the Iron Cross First Class, maker marked on the reverse pin ‘26’, which is the number associated with B.H.Mayer, Pforzheim. Beautiful silver frosting to the edges of the frame, all of the blackened finish to the central core complete, its manufacturer’s number block within the wide tapering pin. Fitted into its original presentation case, the white flocking to the base with slight foxing, a good impression to the upper inner silk of the Iron Cross where it has laid close for many years. To the exterior of the box the silvered outline of the Iron Cross impressed into the pebbled simulated leather finish of the box itself, without any damage to the box. Closing catch working correctly, excellent condition £200-£240
