Maker- (ie. '24'-) marked 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' in pouch by the: 'AG der Hanauer Plakettenhersteller'

The truly attractive - and most certainly desirable! - 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Kl.'-set on offer here - which was surely issued but that was I deem never worn nor even mounted - came together with its folded and/or non-confectioned (and approx. 29 cms. long-sized) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') and (rarely seen- and typically somewhat smaller-sized, 'Zellstoff'-based pouch) as found. The cross - which shows a clear makers'-designation ('24') stamped into its ring - was with certainty never cleaned and has a truly attractive age-patina: it has, however, lost most of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has a minimally darkened- (ie. hardly stained) finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross has a nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'satin-like'- ie. matted-) core: it is totally void of any damage nor paint-loss (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained but was never cleaned nor polished. The cross - that came still packed in its piece of thin-shaped 'wrapping-paper' - is an evident (and magnetic!) specimen that was produced by the desirable maker, named: 'Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Hanauer Plakettenhersteller' as was based in the town of Hanau am Main (ie. 'Hersteller 24'). The cross has very nice and/or pronounced detail as to be expected for a cross by this desirable maker. The neat - and naturally 100% genuine and period! - smaller-sized pouch is sized: 11,7 x 7,2 cms. and is complete and of course still fully functional: it just shows some minimal staining and is somewhat 'wrinkled' by age (as can be seen on the pictures). This neat IC-set was recently found at a German private-household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply a superb and fully matching 'EK II. Klasse'-set by a desirable maker that is most certainly accordingly priced!
