A nicely vaulted private purchase example here! The Iron Cross is a multi-piece, die struck construction that has been soldered together. The single piece core is constructed out of an iron sheet metal base that has been black enamel painted. The frame and back plate are constructed out of a 900 silver base. The obverse features; a patte style cross that has a centrally placed embossed "W" (cypher for King Wilhelm II), below a Kings crown and above "1914" 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 a soldered wide block hinge, soldered wire catch soldered to the base and tapered pin. The award is marked "900" to the center albeit not clearly. It is worn and has nice patina remains throughout. The paint shows loss. A good example!
