M-200   Vaulted 1914 Iron Cross First Class, with Original Case
A great example of a private purchase Imperial Iron Cross First Class which retains an amazing 99% of its original glossy black core paint. The crown, date and central “W” are as new! The 800 silver frame has toned to a dark hue, the reverse still retains a fairly glossy finish with a bit of toning present. Just below the clasp for the pin is stamped “800” for the silver content of this example. The pin functions perfectly.  Also included is the original case, which snaps closed, is finished in a grained black leatherette and has no exterior designation. The interior, finished in white satin on the upper lid and white flocking in the lower section, is moderately discolored. The upper lid features two thin strips of material meant to hold down the included section of ribbon (one is torn loose on a side), while the lower has a recessed pocket meant to hold the cross itself. Overall a near excellent example of a scarce private purchase cross!
