Stunning, black-toned, WH (Heeres o. Waffen-SS 'Panzer' ie. Kriegsmarine-related-) 'Deutsches Kreuz im Gold in Stoff' (ie. cloth-based DKiG or German Cross in gold)

This is a truly very attractive - presumably issued but never tunic-attached and actually very scarcely found! - example of a cloth-based version of a WH (Heeres o. Waffen-SS 'Panzer' ie. Kriegsmarine-related-) 'Deutsches Kreuz im Gold in Stoff' (or: cloth-based DKiG ie. German Cross in gold) being a piece that was executed onto a black-coloured background that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem simply never used- ie. still 'virtually mint'-), condition. The piece - which is neatly hand-embroidered in various types of bullion - has a truly black-coloured- (ie. typical 'Panzer'- ie. evt. Kriegsmarine-related-) smooth-woolen-based background. The award shows a golden-toned (ie. metal-based- and minimally tarnished) wreath as to be expected. The piece - which is void of an inked makers'-mark (ie. logo) on its back as is more often encountered - is nicely 'backed' with thin-shaped, black-toned protective 'backing-paper' (something that is more often but not always seen). The piece just shows some storage-age and/or staining but is totally void of any damage or alike. I have seen similar, black-toned ie. Panzer-related DkiG in stoff for much more than my asking-price. Simply a very attractive - and still 'virtually mint'! - example of this high-class award - only second in grade to a Knights Cross or 'Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes'!; I deem that I have priced this 'Panzer' ie. Kriegsmarine example, accordingly!
