Original German Iron Cross 2nd Class 'Nachkaufstuck' in silver finish, issued in 1918 to German soldiers, from Germany, in very good condition.
Description from the seller
This concerns a special version of the German Iron Cross of the 2nd class awarded to German soldiers for acts during the First World War.
This version concerns a silver-plated edition and involves a so-called 'post-purchase item'.
These versions were made after the war by jewelers and concern original crosses, not reproductions. All authenticity features, as you would expect from a normal cross, should and must be present. This version is therefore magnetic because the core is made of iron; the assembly consists of three parts, and the execution is as thick as all other crosses made from the original molds.
This variant weighs 14 grams and is 3 to 4 grams lighter than a regular iron cross. This is because the cross is coated with a silver layer that makes it lighter than if it were made entirely of iron.
These crosses are rare and difficult to find; additionally, the patina of this version is extremely well preserved!!
A unique item!
This cross will be shipped to you well packed with a tracking code.
These crosses are becoming increasingly rare because they are disappearing more and more among collectors.
Most of the ribbons you see combined with the cross are no longer original. This lot contains an original ribbon!
100% authenticity guarantee on the entire item!
It is carefully packaged and sent to you with a track and trace code.
