An excellent piece! The War Merit Cross with swords was awarded to military personnel for meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty. The award is constructed out of a die struck zinc base that has been silver washed. The obverse depicts a centrally placed mobile swastika that is surrounded by an oak leaf wreath, which is tied together at the top and bottom, and is above a pebbled Maltese style cross that has two crossed broad swords coming out of its corners. The full back reverse has a stamped catch and hinge with a coke bottle nickel-silver pin. The pin is maker marked "4" (Steinhauer & Lück, Lüdenscheid). 40% of the silver wash remains intact. It measures 1 15/16 inches wide and tall. It retains crisp detail!
