2nd Class Iron Cross by 4

Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.

A good looking maker marked one, with a long ribbon! The 2nd Class Iron Cross was awarded for an act of bravery in the face of the enemy, or actions that were clearly above and beyond the call of duty. It 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 two piece frame is constructed out of a nickel silver base that has been silver washed and polished. A final protectant lacquer was applied over the entire award. The obverse features; a pattée style cross that has a centrally placed embossed mobile swastika and "1939" to the lower arm, which is all on a black base and surrounded by a silvered ribbed/beaded row and a flat outlying border. The reverse features that same black base with a raised "1813" to the lower arm and has that same ribbed and flat outlying boarder. To the top is a soldered on loop and maker marked ring which reads: "4" (Steinhauer & Lück, Lüdenscheid) and holds approximately 11 1/4 inches of minty red, white and black rayon ribbon. The paint is in great condition. The border is polished and the beading remains frosted. This comes with the packet I purchased it with marked Beck, Hassinger & Co. Strassburg, which is the wrong maker for the cross. So I'm tossing it in for free. The cross measures approximately 1 ¾ inches wide and tall. A great piece!
