IRON CROSS – 1914 – 2nd CLASS & HINDENBURG CROSS WITH SWORDS FOR COMBATANTS IN DELUXE PRESENTATION CASE
This is a post WW I veterans’ set, where a man combined his 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class with the Hindenburg Cross with Swords for Combatants that he received in 1934 (or later). The large, beige, faux-linen-covered case measures 6″ x 3 1/4″ x 1.” Inside the case, the upper half is lined in white silk. The bottom half is covered in claret-red velvet and stepped. (That is, the upper section housing the Iron Cross is lower than the lower section housing the Hindenburg Cross). The two decorations are in very fine condition. The outer lid’s lower left corner exhibits some evidence of staining. A brass catch secures the case’s two halves. The case’s bottom displays a manufacturer’s tag with assorted writing on it.
