IRON CROSS – 1914 – 1st CLASS VAULTED – .800 SILVER HALLMARKED
This is a remarkable variation of the 1914 Iron Cross 1st Class. It is vaulted with some minor paint loss on the high points of the EK. This is common on a high vaulted EK where the high points extend further from the EK. The pin on the reverse is worthy of mention as it is pushed in. We often see this on Iron Crosses that have been worn extensively. The EK is hallmarked for .800 silver. What really caught my attention on this example is that the hallmarking is HUGE. So often we need to squint or use a magnifying glass to read the print. I would say that the .800 is a good 1/4″ tall!
