An Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse 1939. The 2nd Class Iron Cross was awarded for an act 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 base that has been black enamel painted. The two-piece frame is constructed out of a nickel silver base that has been silver washed and polished. 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 reverse features that same black base with a raised “1813” to the lower arm and has that same ribbed and flat outlying border. To the top is a soldered-on loop and unmarked ring which holds 11.5 inches of mint red, white and black rayon ribbon. Now I say the ring is unmarked and the die characteristics leads us to believe this was manufactured by Prasidialkanzlei(PKZ) 128, S. Jablonski G.m.b.H. The cross measures 1 11/16 inches wide and tall. There is a wee bent to the top left corner of the frame. Nice age patina.
