Attractive, WWI-period Iron Cross 1st class (or: 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse') being a typical non-converse-shaped example that shows a double(!) makers'-designation: 'KAG' stamped onto its back of its pin and that came as issued and worn

The truly attractive cross - which is a typical non-vaulted (ie. non-converse-) shaped example as more often encountered - has - I deem - never been cleaned and retains a very nice- (albeit minimally tarnished) age-patina and/or great pronounced detail. This WWI-period example - which is I deem a (partly) genuine-silver-based- ie. magnetic example as more often seen - comes mounted onto its original (and naturally fully functional) straight-shaped (and somewhat longer-sized) pin and has an unaltered (and also functional) catch (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross - which shows a nicely preserved, 'blackened'- and/or fairly 'satin-like'- ie. somewhat 'matted'-like 'inner-core' - shows some minimal age but is totally void of any damage: it retains a very nice appearance overall. The piece is as stated above showing a clear makers'-designation on the back of its pin that reads: 'KAG' (as can be seen on the pictures) but also shows a (hard to decypher) additional marking on its back (small box with 2 characters under the catch as can be noticed on the pictures). The cross is, moreover, 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. Simply an attractive, WWI-period IC-first-class that was never before part of a collection: I deem that I have priced this attractive example, accordingly!
