Attractive 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' (or: Iron Cross 1st class) being a non-maker-marked (and non-magnetic!) example as was - I deem - produced by the 'Hersteller' (ie. maker): 'B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt'

The attractive - albeit clearly issued- ie. moderately worn - 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' (or: Iron Cross 1st class) is a typical non-vaulted- (ie. non-converse-shaped and/or non-magnetic!) example that has never been cleaned nor polished. It retains an attractive age-patina and/or nice, pronounced detail as to be expected. This example - which is as stated above a typical non-maker-marked specimen - was - I deem - produced by the desirable maker: 'B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt' (ie. 'Hersteller 26') as was based in the town of Pforzheim and comes naturally firmly mounted onto its original- (and naturally unaltered and/or fully functional) flute-shaped pin and/or typical catch (-set-up). The cross - which is a non-magnetic example - shows a neatly 'blackened'- and/or fairly 'satin-like'- (ie. somewhat shiny) inner-core that just shows some paint-damage on the arms of the swastika (as can be seen on the pictures): it has, however, clearly been issued and/or worn and is still a bit stained and/or dirty (it was never cleaned though and has lost its 'off-factory'-applied polished sides ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten'). I deem that I have priced this attractive, 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' by the 'B.H. Mayer'-company according to its truly used and/or totally untouched condition!
