Jamie Cross Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) A Superb example of a German Knights Cross of the Iron Cross by Steinhauer and Luck (S732) A Nice & Clean example of a Cased Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. The cross is a Steinhauer and Luck "800" silver marked example. The medal loop on this example is also "935" Silver marked. The cross has a nice magnetic centre with a nice high swastika. The frame does not have the tiny dots to the right hand arm or any webbing faults or loss of definition to the frame, as can be seen from the scan. . The cross is of standard early manufacture and comes complete with a length of ribbon that has had the ends sewn over with, again, Iron Cross ribbon tabs The ribbon is approximately 16 inches long with the tabs being about 12 inches at each end. The cross probably dates from the 1939/41 period and shows wear and tear but is still in great shape. The case is of sold wood construction with a cut out for the cross and section for the ribbon. The silk white underside is nice and clean, but the hinge cover has split. There is no glow to the silk and it has a capoc type filling to it. The black base has been pulled out and shows the correct aging to it. The hinge is brass with a steel rod and the press stud is again non-magneti though the catch and plate are. All in all a nice set, that would be hard to better. Scarce to find an early issued item . GBP £ 11,000.00 (UK Poun Edited March 15, 2019 by Jamie Cross missed some text 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahrtal Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Wish I could locate the medal that goes with my formal award, but the award may never have been struck since it was a posthumous award. Did the various manufacturers keep records of the recipients for whom they manufactured each? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hello Ahrtal, Tricky question, maybe someone on MCN can assist you? Can you find an image of it on Google and put it on here?. There possibly are records somwhere but sorry I can't help you on that. Best to you....Desert Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahrtal Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I thought I had posted the formal award document and case here last year (😲), but I could be mistaken. The recipient was Edmund Wagner. His first kill was during the Battle of Britain. All subsequent kills were in Russia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Wagner I was fortunate to get the document in a moving sale. Guess it will be cremated with me!🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
