1870 IRON CROSS, SECOND CLASS WITH WIEDERHOLUNGSSPANGE AND JUBILAUMSSPANGE
Very rare suspended medal, approx. 1 3/4" square, with a 2 1/2" ribbon, awarded during the Franco-Prussian war.

The ribbon bears the "Weiderholungsspange", an enameled miniature of the 1914 Iron Cross on a bar, awarded to recognize noteworthy actions during World War I by recipients of the Iron Cross during the Franco-Prussian war. It is marked on the reverse "Joh. Wagner & Sohn." with a half moon and a crown hallmark before "800 Berlin. W."
