This is a very attractive - fully complete, matching and totally untouched! - example of an: 'Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse' (ie. Iron Cross 2nd Class) being a clearly maker- (ie. '75'-) marked example as was produced by the: 'Julius Maurer'-company as was based in the town of Oberstein/Nahe and that comes stored in its period, 'Zellstoff'-based pouch and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem issued- albeit never used- nor even mounted-), condition. The piece on offer here has never been cleaned and shows a very nice (blackened- and truly 'satin-like'-) patina and shows a fully undamaged, black-coloured 'inner-core'-section. The piece - which does show the clearly present makers'-designation '75' stamped into its ring - has lost most of its polished sides (or: 'hochpolierte Kanten') and does show some minimal storage-age. It came stored in its accompanying, blue-coloured- and 'Zellstoff'-based pouch and came together with its 'virtually mint', full-length- (ie. approx. 29 cms. long-sized-) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschitt') as issued and/or stored for decades. As stated above has the cross great and very fine detail: it is just a bit 'tarnished' over the years and has never been cleaned (it is just a tiny bit dusty). Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that for several years the makers'-designation '75' could NOT for 100% be attributed to the maker 'Julius Maurer': the neat IC-set on offer here is absolute proof that this was most certainly the case. I deem that I have priced this neat - very unusual and complete! - IC-set by the 'Julius Maurer'-company is priced according to its rarity and/or desirability: I do not know another matching set for sale!
