Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse 1939 im Etui by 4 - Steinhauer & Lück of Lüdenscheid. 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 soldered-on c-shaped catch, block hinge and coke bottle pin marked: “4”. The paint is in wonderful condition! The cross measures 1 ¾ inches wide and tall. The cross comes housed in its issue case. The case is constructed out of a wood and pressed cardboard base that is covered in a simulated grained black faux leatherette. The lid features a silver foil outline of an Iron Cross. The interior top lid is lined in white satin above an underlying pad. The bottom interior of the case is constructed out of a cardboard base that is covered in pearl fibrous flocking that outlines the pin hinge and catch assembly. The case measures 2 13/16 inches wide by 2 ¾ inches deep and ¾ of an inch thick. A wonderful assembly!
