  1.  IRONCROSS #34774 1st Class Iron Cross

    This 1st Class Iron Cross appears to be a very high quality example however I notice that it is non-magnetic. I know that some Iron Crosses were made this way and perhaps this is one of them. The detail to the serrations are still crisp and the black finish is still perfect having fine raised swastika with the date, “1939” at the lower leg. On the reverse is a barrel hinge with a fairly thick coke bottle type pin having a catch which is soldered directly to the metal with no pedestal. Stamped into the center portion of the pin is the number, “20”. I believe this is the number of Zimmermann that made a number of German crosses. An interesting example here which appears of higher quality than most Iron Crosses I have seen.

On the reverse is printed the name of the producer which is “Rudolph Wachtler and Lang”. This particular maker was assigned the number “100” so this nicely ties in with the marking of the loop of the metal. A really fine full set here.

The frosting is all in 100% condition, really showing off the bright spots of the swastika and the date. The construction of this medal would indicate that it is made by “B.H. Mayer” but it is unmarked. The inside of the case has a white silk padded inside lid and the lower inside has black velvet with a slot. This is one of the best conditioned examples of the 1st class spange you are likely to encounter.

    The case of this Iron Cross has the exact image of the medal embossed on the cover. There is some wear to the image particularly to the left leg of the cross.

We made a side portion for the box and inserted it and atleast now the case looks acceptable. The medal has outstanding silver edges with excellent raised serrations.

  10. IRONCROSS #34362 Cased 1st Class Iron Cross – K.A.G.

    This Imperial cased Iron Cross seems to be in what I think is a Third Reich box. The box however is a real beauty being perfect throughout its black leatherette and having a silver embossed image of the medal on the lid. The inner lid is covered in padded white satin and the lower portion of the box has off-white velvet with a slot in the center. A very fine box here. The medal itself is a typical Imperial example having some age to the silvered borders but the serrations are still crisp and all of the original finish appears to still be on the raised Prussian crown, the “W” in the center and also to the “1914” date. The reverse of the medal has a barrel hinge with a coke bottle shape flat pin and cup hook soldered to the medal. Stamped on the outside of the pin is the maker initials, “K.A.G.”. A nice example here which may be the original owner kept in a Third Reich box. Either way you have both parts here.

    Excellent Plus. $500.00

  11. IRONCROSS #34363C Cased 1st Class Iron Cross

    The case of this Iron Cross is rather interesting in that it is a dark green leatherette instead of black. It is definitely the correct color for it however as it has an embossed silver image of the medal on the middle of the lid. The inside of the box has a padded satin liner and the portion is of off-white felt with a slot for the medal. This case is in choice mint condition. The Iron Cross is also a beauty.

The surfaces appear to have all of the finish, except on the raised out swastika and the “1939” date. The same is true on the reverse with the “1813” date showing some wear to the finish.

Beneath the wreath, there is a plaque with 45 degree angle edges having the raised out date “1939”. The Spange is complete with its original ribbon. The ribbon shows a little bit of running to the colors but it is black in the center with twin white stripes and black edges. I don’t know whether the Spange is marked on the reverse as it would be necessary to take out the prongs to see this. There are four original prongs to the reverse of this medal. A very nice item here which was given to soldiers who had already won the Imperial iron cross second class and if they won it again during the Second World War, then this Spange was given instead.

    Excellent. $395.00

    This Imperial Iron Cross shows some age and patination but overall it is still in good condition. The serrations still appear crisp and all of the blackening is in the legs of the cross.

On the reverse is a Prussian crown with the letters “fw” beneath with oak leaves in the center and the date of inception “1813”. Attached to the hanging ring is the original ribbon.

The screw device is hallmarked on the reverse, “L/17.” This is a very fine 1st Class Iron Cross in and of itself, and the crewback option serves only to make it even more desireable. A very interesting medal here.

    Near Mint. $550.00

  25. IRONCROSS #27430 Imperial 2nd Class Iron Cross with Ribbon

    Near Mint. $150.00

  28. IRONCROSS #29309C 2nd Class Iron Cross with Ribbon

    This 2nd Class Iron Cross has a much greater shine on the obverse than we normally see in the black portion of the surfaces. It is possible that this surface could have been lacquered somewhere over the time the medal was worn. If this was the case, it was done a very long time ago. At any rate, the cross has quite a bit of patination throughout but its legs are still sharp at the points and the serrations are fairly crisp. The mobile swastika is very high in relief and the dates “1939” and “1813” on the reverse are good and crisp. For what it is worth, the reverse of the medal reflects the same patination but no shiny surfaces. The black, though, is all there. The loop of this example is not marked. There is a satin lined ribbon, being red in the center and having stripes of white and black on the outside. A good display example here.

    Excellent. $135.00

  30. IRONCROSS #31425 2nd Class Iron Cross with Ribbon

    This Iron Cross shows some old patination in the recesses of the border silvering, as it looks like it was cleaned at some time a while ago. The serrations are still fairly crisp. The black surfaces on the iron part are beginning to thin but are still all there. The raised out swastika has no blackening left to it nor does the raised out"1939” date on the lower leg. The same is true of the"1813” date on the reverse and the reverse area is the same as the obverse. This loop is unmarked. The ribbon is in place, being a ribbed satin with red stripe center and twin lines of white and black on the edges. This iron cross shows some usage from the period.

    Excellent. $125.00

In the center is an oak leaf sprig over the date “1813”. There is no ribbon on this loop.

    Excellent. $110.00

  33. IRONCROSS #31927 1st Class Iron Cross

    This Iron Cross is a fine item having good silvering to the borders of the legs and good, crisp serrations. The black surfaces have a little age on them but they look to be all there. The center area has a fine raised out mobile swastika with the date “1939” on the bottom leg. The swastika and the date appear to have a little wear to their surfaces. The reverse of the iron cross has a good silvered finish. It has a double barrel style hinge with a cup hook soldered to the metal at the bottom. The flat style coke bottle type pin is marked with a maker number but you need a powerful loop to see it and apparently mine is not good enough.

    Excellent. $95.00

  36. IRONCROSS #32642 Cased Imperial Iron Cross 1st Class

    The case for this Iron Cross is a very fine leatherette example having choice grain in the leather and the top surface is embossed with a gold Iron Cross image. The case shows very little usage or age. It has a magnetic style push button opener. The inside lid is covered in a satin material with a padded back. The image of the Iron Cross has left its borders in the satin liner. The base of the inside case is a most beautiful purple velvet giving a real regal look to the metal which rests in the center slot. The medal is a nicely vaulted example still having good crisp serrations and all of the original surfaces are intact. This metal has a “W” in the center with a Prussian crown at the top leg and the date, “1914” at the bottom leg. The center of the reverse of the cross is stamped, “800”.

  37. IRONCROSS #33007 2nd Class Iron Cross Spange

    This 2nd Class Iron Cross Spange is a fine example recently coming from a motel buy.

On the reverse are the two sets of twin prongs which would have attached this spange to an Iron Cross ribbon. The spange was worn if the recipient had all ready received the 2nd Class Iron Cross during the Great War. This example shows some usage but it still remains in fine condition. It is unmarked on the reverse.

    Excellent Plus $325.00

    This 2nd Class Iron Cross is in good condition, showing mild usage. The legs have good silvering and fairly crisp serrations.

This cross is unmarked and it also is one of the types that has a non-magnetic center. It is definitely an original example, however, and it can be clearly seen throughout the leg surfaces where the two halves have been positioned and soldered together. A very fine example here.
