Dietrich Maerz calls these crosses "| some of the rarest that the collector might ever find." p.406. Here we have a Screwback Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse - Friedrich Sedlatzek of Berlin (producer/distributor of an unknown maker). The 1st Class Iron Cross was awarded to those who had received the 2nd class iron cross and preformed 3-5 acts 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 frame and back plate are constructed out of a nickel-silver base that has been silver washed. 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 full back reverse features a centrally soldered on male screw piece (that is ever so slightly bent), washer and female nut screw device. The paint is in excellent condition remaining 97%+ intact and the frame/screw pieces have wonderful patina! The cross measures approximately 1 ¾ inches wide and tall. Expensive? Yes, but when is another one going to come up for sale?
