M-021 Merit Cross of the Order of the German Eagle
3rd Class without Swords, in Original Presentation Case
Officially the “Verdienstkreuz III. Stufe des Ordens vom Deutschen
Adler”. This is a cased example that is spectacular, to say the least! With
beautiful white enamel work that is fully intact, and a dark tone taken on by
the four mounted eagles, it really is one of the most handsome of all the awards
of the Third Reich. The proper ribbon with horizontal pin mounted on the reverse
is present and excellent. The support ring is marked “900 21”, indicating
it’s manufacture by renowned Berlin firm of Gebrüder Godet (Godet Brothers)
and its silver content. The original presentation case is as new. The red
leatherette exterior contains no scuffs or marks. The embossed political eagle
(with a wingspan of approximately 1 7/8”) and border are in gold ink. The case
has a liftable flat nickel/silver latch plate that secures over a rectangular
peg button. The interior has a white padded satin material on the top, with the
writing in gold, and a black velvet lower section that is contoured for the
badge. These are both excellent as well! A choice example!
