Description:

GERMAN CROSS IN GOLD
German Cross in Gold by Klein, Hanau, undamaged black enamel on the swastika with the black ray plate finish worn in only a few high spots. The gold wreath and date "1941" remain very good, but the silver finish behind the swastika is a bit worn. The underside of the pin show its four rivet construction, maker stamped with the number "134" (Klein). The German Cross was instituted by Adolf Hitler in 1941 as an award ranking higher than the Iron Cross First Class but below the Knight's Cross. It was issued in gold and silver, the former being an award for bravery, the latter being for distinguished service.
