'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' being a (typical) non-maker-marked example by a (by me) unidentified maker (ie. 'Hersteller')

The truly attractive piece - which was surely issued ie. once mounted - came together with its folded and/or minimally-confectioned (and approx. 17 cms. long-sized-) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt'). The cross - which is totally void of any makers'-designation - was with certainty never cleaned and has a superb and/or attractive age-patina: it has lost most of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has just a minimally darkened- (ie. stained or tarnished) finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross has a very nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'satin-like'- ie. somewhat matted-) core: it is totally void of any damage nor paint-loss (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained but was never cleaned nor polished. This IC was recently found at a German private-household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive, non-maker-marked 'EK II. Klasse' that is (I deem) accordingly priced!
