Knight's Cross
M-1796 Frosty 935/4 Cased Steinhauer & Lück Knight's Cross
Here's an example that was purchased from the son of the Vet in Ohio. This is a textbook cross that is correctly marked with the "935/4 " mark on the frame. 935 denoting the silver content and 4, S&L's assigned Präsidialkanzlei number. Weight is 29.8gr with the loop. This cross has the lightest evidence of field wear with just a bit of the lacquer lost to the frame corners exposing the silver to the air and subsequent darkening. All of this is clearly shown in my pics. I have attempted to provide the worse views possible so you'll only be pleased in hand. This is three piece constructed with a magnetic core. For those of you checking this against references see Dietrich's reference pg 122. The loop is original and correctly "800" stamped. Included is a 25cm piece of original ribbon. The cross comes with it'soriginal case with black flocking and a correct silk top. The exterior shows scuffs and chaffing. This cross is exactly as returned by the Vet. in 1945. Finally, just so every one can sleep well at night, this comes with a 3 page COA from Dietrich. Exc++

German Cross
M-2174 Cased 2nd Model Unmarked German Cross in Gold by Juncker
Ok guys this one was purchased several years back from Bill Shea, rather than redescribe this thing all over again I'll use Bill's description but add my comments afterwards: Bill's text follows: M-014a Cased German Cross in Gold by Juncker This example, in gold, was awarded for outstanding achievement and heroism in combat. It is produced in what is know as “cupal”, which is a lightweight composite material consisting of aluminum and copper. It displays all the characteristics well known to Juncker manufacture, including the five rivets on the reverse (four recessed, while the centre one is domed). The enamel work is sound, with no visible damage, with a black mobile swastika, outlined in silver, superimposed over a white background. The white background has somewhat toned to a darker hue, and has a few darker spots. The gold wreath is flawless, and the red ring underneath it is near excellent. The starburst is magnificent with all of the burnishing intact; this makes the look very appealing. The unmarked reverse has a verticallymounted pin, which is hinged at the top and appears to be slightly bent. It tapers down from the top to a blunt point. The reverse is well toned, also. There is considerable discoloration to the reverse but no damage. Obviously this does not show when on a tunic or displayed in the case. The black pebbled presentation case is a two-piece hinged construction fastened by a spring tension button. There is minor wear with two tiny chips in the upper lid. The interior features a white satin upper, with a black velvet lower, that displays minor wear. Overall, a near excellent example, of scarce anufacture, of this highly desirable award! As through as Bill is, I'm even more anal about this stuff! Please note that the cardboard frame around the lower left of the bottom case flocking is missing a section. I've clearly shown this. Similar example is shown in Dietrich's reference pg 166. This one is back to me on trade and I'm selling
for hundreds less than Bill did several years ago!

M-2058 German Cross in Gold by C.F. Zimmermann
Here's one that has been there. The black rays have light wear to the ends and the very top silver ray is worn down a few mm, why who knows? but of course I mention it. The enamel is excellent. No chipping, no damage just some light surface scratches, exactly what one expects when looking at a worn award. The silver background to the swas shows age. If you see a "scratch" to the upper left quadrant in the silver it's not, it's a hair I just blew off, sorry. Multi-piece constructed and assembled with hollow rivets. Reverse of the pin is correctly marked "20". This is for the well known maker C.F. Zimmermann of Pforzheim. Both the hinge and the catch are correctly placed in recesses to the reverse plate. Weight is 44.6g. For those of you who are students of these things
a similar example can be viewed in Dietrich's German
Cross reference pg 204. Finally, Dietrich was good
enough to look at this example and confirms, "IMHO this is a
genuine pre-1945 made example". All in all a nice worn example
at a fair price. Exc+

M-2266 German Cross in Silver by Deschler & Sohn
Here's one that has been well worn. The black rays have wear. The enamel is excellent. No chipping, no damage just some light surface scratches, exactly what one expects when looking at a worn award. The silver background to the swas shows age. Multi-piece construction and assembled with 4 rivets in small recesses in the back plate. Reverse of the pin is correctly marked "1". Both the hinge and the catch are correctly surface mounted as was Deschler's habit. Weight is a heavy 70g. For those of you who want this checked against the current references see Dietrich's reference pg 112. All in all a nice example. Exc+

Another rare Schinkel variant. This is constructed in one piece. The core frame and back plate are all tombac based. Look how the core is all pimpled, that's not the paint rather the surface finish of the tombac. Neat. These early 1st class crosses are far rarer than the 2nd class Schinkel's. Look how vaulted it is. Similar example can be seen in Previtera's reference. For those of you who don't own this book, you need it, check my book section for one!!

There is some "flash" that has been left to the inside corners and protrudes into the core area. The inside corners are misaligned and not filed down smooth. Neat.
