A Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse mit Schwertern by 62 - Kerbach & Oesterhelt of Dresden. Instituted October 18, 1939, the 1st Class War Merit Cross with Swords was awarded for special merits when deployed under enemy weapon action or for special merits in military warfare. The award is constructed out of a die-struck nickel-silver base that has been silver washed. The obverse depicts a centrally placed mobile swastika that is surrounded by an oak leaf wreath, which is tied together at the top and bottom, and is above a pebbled Maltese style cross that has two crossed broad swords coming out of its inside arms. The full back reverse features: a soldered-on flatwire catch, a soldered-on block hinge and a coke bottle pin that is maker marked “62” to the underside. It measures 1 7/8 inches wide and tall. A nice early one.
