Attractive, 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Kl.' (or: Iron Cross 1st class) being (I deem) a typical, non-maker-marked example by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller'): 'Rudolf Souval' and that comes in its original, 'generic-styled' etui as issued and found

This is an attractive - albeit minimally worn- ie. used! - example of an: 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' (or: Iron Cross 1st class) being being typical non-maker-marked example as was (I deem) produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Rudolf Souval' ('Hersteller 98') and that comes stored in its original, simulated leather-based- (non-maker-marked, 'generic-styled'- and fairly luxuriously styled!) etui as issued and/or recently found and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. The magnetic (and typically non-vaulted) cross has a very attractive (somewhat darkened) age-patina and retains truly great detail: the black-coloured (ie. somewhat satin-toned) core shows no rust nor damage whatsoever: the (somewhat 'matted'- ie satin-like) black-coloured paint in the core is truly fully preserved: it is totally void of any paint-damage (as can be seen in the pictures). The cross has lost most of its 'off-factory applied' polished sides (ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten'). The back of the cross is just minimally stained (but was never cleaned nor polished though). The (flute-shaped) pin and typical catch (ie. set-up) are naturally fully unaltered and/or fully functional. The etui comes also in a very fine and complete condition: the thin-shaped and silver-rimmed cross that figures on the etui's top comes in a totally undamaged condition whereas the beige-white-coloured- and velvet-like interior is also fully present and in place (it does just show some minimal age and/or staining, mainly on its top as can be noticed on the pictures). The cross is - as stated above - an attractive example that was (I deem) produced by the Austrian maker 'Rudolf Souval' as based in the town of Wien (Vienna) and that was never before in a collection. I deem that this attactive - and fully untouched! - IC-set is with certainty accordingly priced!
