Wow what a beautiful complete set of an Imperial 2nd Class Iron Cross! This award is a die struck, three piece (single piece iron core and two piece alloy construction) construction. The obverse features a pattee style cross with a centrally placed "W", below a kings crown and above "1914" all in black with a ribbed and flat boarder. The reverse shows a centrally placed oak leaf design, kings crown, "FW" and "1813". The black paint is practically mint! The border has beautifully toned with age leaving a nice and dark patina! The ring is unmarked. The award comes with 6" of the correct non-combatant white and black rayon ribbon. Now the vaulted case looks neat It is made of a type of green/blue simulated snake skin, which really looks cool! There is a gold embossed decorative line around the top of the case. The button and hinge work well. There is some damage to the top of the box as shown, but keep in mind this thing is 100 years old!! The interior is flocked with royal purple satin to the top and rich flocking to the bottom... Yes I know it looks blue in one of the pics, but trust me it's purple. What an awesome set. If you've been in the market for one of these, don't let this one go!
