Description
This is a very low-vaulted 1914 Iron Cross 1st Class – The obverse’s paint is quite pleasing. It rates at about 98%. The obverse displays a fairly thin pin. It also boasts an interesting backing plate (for lack of a better term), which has been applied to the reverse as an additional layer. It is secured by a small rivet. I believe the pin and clasp were broken off at some point and someone fixed it by attaching this backing plate, which has a pin and clasp attached to it. It certainly is a most unusual example of a 1914 Iron Cross 1st Class!
