Stunning, maker- (ie. '20'-marked-) example of WH (Heeres, LW etc.) 'Deutsches Kreuz im Gold' (or DKiG) being a (regular- ie. 'light-weight') piece that was produced by the: 'C.F. Zimmermann'-company and that comes stored in its period etui
This is a truly very attractive - albeit clearly issued and/or just moderately used and/or worn! - example of a neatly maker- (ie. '20'-marked-) example of WH (Heeres, Waffen-SS, Luftwaffe etc.) 'Deutsches Kreuz im Gold' (or: DKiG ie. German Cross in gold) being a regular (ie. 'light'-weight) piece that was with certainty produced by the: 'C.F. Zimmermann'-company as based in the town of Pforzheim and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit used- ie. moderately worn-), condition. The untouched piece has a (fully preserved and totally undamaged!) enamelled surface (ie. swastika-area) that just shows some minimal wear and/or minimal scratches (something that can be seen on the pictures). The piece shows some moderate age ie. wear but is totally void of any damage or alike. It shows a bright-golden-toned (ie. metal-based) wreath as to be expected. The award shows an attractive silver-coloured age-patina (it has not been cleaned and is still a bit dirty ie. stained) and retains all its four (fully unaltered!) rivets in place. The award shows a clearly present maker-designation: '20' in place (present on the back of the flute-shaped pin as always) and comes as expected on its fully functional (and equally unaltered!) catch- ie. pin-set-up in place. The piece came still stored in its (typical) black-toned etui that is equally nicely preserved: it shows some obvious wear- and/or storage-marks but is fully undamaged and nicely preserved over the years. The piece originates from a private household in Germany where it was uncovered some years ago: it resided in my private-collection for some years. Regrettably, did this piece came without a recipients'-name or alike (someting that is more often the case). Simply a very attractive - and naturally 100% genuine! - example of a high-class award - only second in grade to a Knights Cross or 'Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes'! - that is accordingly priced. Simply a fuly untouched, period 'boxed' and regular-weight, 'Zimmermann'-example that is I deem accordingly priced!
