A Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse mit Schwertern by 3 - Wilhelm Deumer of Lüdenscheid. The 1st Class War Merit Cross with Swords was awarded to military personnel for meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty (which needed not occur while facing the enemy). It is constructed out of a die struck zinc-alloy base that has been silver washed. The obverse depicts a pebbled Maltese style cross with a wreathed swastika to the center. The full back reverse is correctly marked “3”. It also shows a nickel-silver soldered on rectangular plate block hinge, soldered on round plate c-shaped catch and a coke bottle pin. The silver wash remains to the pin, hinge and catch assembly. It measures 1 15/16 inches wide and tall. A nice piece!
