Title Iron Cross, 2nd class, 1939
Nationality German
Period 1939-45
Sold

This was the basic grade of Iron Cross of which some five million were awarded in WW2. The ribbon is period and very clean. The general condition of the medal is excellent.

Interestingly enough, this particular award is rarely found as a competently made fake. There were a few pieces made in France in the early 1970s from original dies with triple figure identical number maker punches, eg 666.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
