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 very attractive - clearly issued and/or once tunic-attached and actually scarcely found - example of a cloth-based version of a WH (Heeres o. Waffen-SS 'Panzer' ie. Kriegsmarine-related-) 'Deutsches Kreuz im Gold' (or DKiG ie. German Cross in gold) being a piece that was executed onto a black-coloured background that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit clearly used- and/or worn-), condition. The piece - which is neatly hand-embroidered in various types of bullion - has a 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 a piece of thin-shaped protective backing-paper (something that is more often but not always seen). The piece just shows moderate age, wear and/or staining but is 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 -clearly used and/or or worn! - 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!
