What a beauty! Here we have a Second Class Iron Cross 1870 with a "25 Jubilee Spange". The Iron Cross is constructed out of a die struck, three piece (single piece iron core and two piece silver alloy frame) construction. The obverse features a black pattee style cross with a centrally placed embossed "W" (cypher for King Wilhelm II), below a Kings crown and above "1870", all within a ribbed and flat border. The reverse shows a centrally placed oak leaf cluster, below a "FW" (cypher for King Friedrich Wilhelm III) and a Kings crown and is above "1813". The black paint is in great condition! The border has beautifully aged leaving a nice dark patina. Attached to the cross is a soldered loop and ring which holds 6 inches of original black and white rayon ribbon. Attached between the cross and the ring is a "25 Jubilee Spange". It is constructed out of a die stamped, silver-alloy construction. It depicts three oak leaves behind "25". This whole piece is in wonderful condition and just purchased by me from the Vet's family!
