A unique and desirable piece! The 1st Class Iron Cross is a multi-piece, die struck construction that has been soldered together. The single piece core is constructed out of an iron metal base that has been black enamel painted. The frame and back plate are constructed out of a nickel silver base that has been silver washed and polished. A final protectant lacquer coating was applied over the entire award. The obverse features; a pattée style cross that has a centrally placed "W" (cypher for King Wilhelm II), below a Kings crown (upper arm) and above "1914" (lower arm), which is all on a black base and surrounded by a silvered ribbed/beaded row and a flat outlying border. The full back reverse features a unique personalization which reads "In Dankbarkeit Divorzak 1918" (In Gratitude Divorzak 1918). It also has a soldered on block hinge, soldered ?C' shaped catch and coke bottle pin. It measures approximately 1 5/8 inches tall and wide. It has nicely aged with time. The award comes housed in a 1st Class Iron Cross case. The vaulted case is constructed out of a wood and pressed cardboard base that is covered in a simulated, grained black leather. The very top features a silvered outline of a 1st Class Iron Cross. To the front is a round steel, spring loaded closure button. To the back is a steel based staggered bar hinge. The hinge and the closure button continue to function well. The interior top lid is lined in pearl satin and has an underlying pad. The bottom interior of the case is made of a tan felt covered cardboard and outlines the pin, hinge and catch assembly. It has some age wear throughout yet it retains a nice dark color, well working components and a beautiful emblem! It measures approximately 2 11/16 inches wide and tall by ¾ inches thick. A great set worthy of your collection!
