M-015 Handsome German Cross in Gold
A near excellent example of this rare and desirable decoration!
Scarce, unmarked example. There are a few scratches and some discoloration in
the background, while the black swastika is virtually spotless. The gold wreath,
dated 1941, is excellent and lightly toned. The red underlay of the wreath has a
few very small chips in the enamel, otherwise it checks out just fine. The gold
and silver “rays” over the dark grey background of the cross are a sight to
behold! The reverse, which has four rounded rivets, is toned and retains 98% of
the silver finish! The upsweep on the slightly tapered pin is quite
pronounced. The hinge is crimped to a foot, which is attached to the
reverse of the badge, while the catch is an oval shaped flat wire. An excellent
example overall of this handsome award!
