WWI-period Iron Cross 1st class (or: 'EK 1. Klasse') being a typical non-maker-marked example (by the 'C.E. Juncker'-company!) that comes mounted onto its (unusual!) and functional 'screw-back'- (ie. 'an der Schraube'-) set-up

The truly very attractive cross - which is a typical, nicely vaulted ie. quite converse-shaped example as is more often encountered - has - I deem - never been cleaned and retains a very nice- (albeit somewhat tarnished) age-patina and/or great pronounced detail. This example - which is a typical non-magnetic example as more often seen - comes mounted onto its unusual, original 3-pieced (and naturally fully functional!) 'screw-back'- (ie. 'an der Schraube'-) set-up (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross - which shows a nicely preserved, 'blackened'- and/or fairly 'satin-like'- ie. somewhat 'shiny'-like 'inner-core' - shows some minimal wear- and/or age but is void of any real damage: it retains a very nice appearance overall. It is just a bit dirty and tarnished simply caused by years of storage and/or moderate wear but retains a great unmessed-with and/or uncleaned, age-patina. The IC on offer here comes naturally complete with its (typical) 'back'-plate that is secured by a single screw (as can be noticed on the pictures). The cross is totally void of a makers'-designation but can in my opinion most certainly be attributed to the desirable maker 'C.E. Juncker' as was based in Berlin (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply an attractive - and with certainly rarely seen! - IC-first-class that was recently uncovered at a private-household and that was never before in a collection: I deem that I have priced this attractive WWI-period 'variant C.E. Junckers'-example, accordingly!
