WW1 1914 Iron Cross (Second Class) With 1st Type WW2 1939 Spange (Clasp) & Period Turn Off White Metal Lapel Fastener. Sn 23483 - 23483

This is a 1914 Iron Cross (Second Class) with a 1939 Spange (clasp)—awarded to a veteran who had already earned the Iron Cross in World War I and was decorated again in World War II for distinguished service ( see page 48 of Combat Medals Of The Third Reich by Ailsby). The medal and clasp are clean and undamaged. The rear of the medal has a period fitted threaded mount which has a white period white metal disc with central metal screw which attaches to the medal perfectly. The Iron cross & spange would normally be worn on medal ribbon. This mounted combination was most likely commissioned by the veteran awarded with the medal so it could be lapel worn on leave or post war after service. There are no visible maker marks on the Iron Cross or spange. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 23483 (drawers office)
