What an interesting example! I would have loved to hear the story on this one. This award is a die struck, three piece (single piece iron core and two piece silver alloy frame) construction. The obverse features a black pattee style cross with a centrally placed embossed "W" (cypher for King Wilhelm II), below a Kings crown and above "1914", all within a ribbed and flat border. The reverse shows a centrally placed oak leaf cluster, below a "FW" (cypher for King Friedrich Wilhelm III) and a Kings crown and is above "1813". The black paint is in nice condition, remaining 90% intact. The boarder has beautifully aged leaving a nice dark patina. The top loop and ring have been filed off and replaced with a pin, hinge and catch assembly, which all work well. A very cool Field Modified 1st Class Imperial Iron Cross!
