Description:

1914 IRON CROSS, SECOND CLASS
Fine example of the 1914 Iron Cross, 2nd Class, 44mm x 57mm. The obverse shows the German crown with the monogram for Kaiser Wilhelm in the center with the date ‘1914' at the bottom. The reverse shows the same with wrapped oak leaves in the center. What makes this particular Iron Cross distinct from the others is that the white ribbon with thin black stripes. 87mm x 29mm, which designates it for non-combatants. Unmarked. The cross itself is lightly tarnished, with the ribbon, in reverse colors from the normal combat issued version, lightly soiled and with light damage at the top, otherwise very good.
