Superb, 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' (ie. Iron Cross 1st class) being an (I deem) early-war-period produced: '4'-marked (ie. by: 'Steinhauer & Lück'-produced) example and that comes complete in its specific etui as issued and/or recently found

This is a truly very attractive - and just mininimally used- and/or worn! - example of an: 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' (ie. Iron Cross 1st class) being an (I deem) fairly early-war-period-produced (and/or: '4'- ie. by the company: 'Steinhauer & Lück'-marked- and produced) example that comes complete in its specific (and equally nicely preserved!) etui as issued and/or recently found. The cross - which is non-vaulted ie. non-converse-shaped as more often - has most certainly never been cleaned and retains a superb age-patina and/or great pronounced detail. This example - which is an evident specimen as was produced by the: 'Steinhauer & Lück'-company as based in the town of Lüdenscheid - comes naturally mounted onto its functional (pin- ie. pin-/catch) set-up. The back of the cross is just minimally stained (but was never cleaned nor polished though). The (flute-shaped) pin and typical catch (ie. set-up) are naturally unaltered and/or fully functional. The piece shows a clearly present makers'-designation that reads: '4' (stamped into the back of the pin as more often). The etui comes also in a very fine and complete condition: the (thinner-shaped) silver-rimmed cross that figures on the etui's top is in a very nice and totally undamaged condition whereas the beige-yellow-coloured- and (simulated) velvet-like interior is also fully present and in place (it does just show some minimal age and/or staining). The cross is - as stated above - a very attractive example that was produced by the maker: 'Steinhauer & Lück' as was based in the town of Lüdenscheid. It was never part of a collection and was recently found at a private-household in Germany. I deem that this very attactive - matching and fully untouched! - IC-set by the 'S&L'-company is accordingly priced!
