M-198 Spange 1939 to the WWI Iron Cross
First Class
Excellent piece, with super crisp detail to the bird, and all of the
original frosted silver finish, nicely set off against the polished flat
surfaces of the swastika, box frame and the numerals. There is some light toning
to the smooth (polished) surfaces, and a tiny nick or two to the frosting on one
wing, else it is very nice. Presented to a WWI winner (of the Imperial version
of the Iron Cross Second Class) who won a subsequent award of the Iron Cross
First Class during WWII (i.e. post-1939), the Spange was worn above the Imperial
EK I (Iron Cross) on the left breast pocket. The matte silver reverse has some
toning and minor spotting. The flat needle does not taper (has parallel sides)
and fits securely into the catch. Very impressive!
