Description: WW1 CASED GERMAN IRON CROSS 1ST CLASS MARKED K.O ORIGINAL WARTIME This is a beautiful cased example of this iconic award from the Great War. The cross is a textbook example, in excellent condition overall, marked “K.O.” for the Berlin Royal Mint. The edges of the silver frame, as well as the reverse of the cross, have a rich, dark patina. The core was painted with a rather thick, glossy paint that has protected it well for the last 100 years. The paint is almost completely intact showing only slight wear and age. The reverse features a wide, sharp pin, with no repairs or issues of any kind apparent with the textbook hardware setup. This cross resides in its original case, which is also in excellent condition. The exterior is leatherette, embossed with an interesting and attractive checkered pattern, and adorned with a silver Iron Cross outline. The lid and hinge of the case are lined inside with white silk, and the cross rests on an off-white-flocked insert. The case has some toning and wear inside and some minor marks and dings to the exterior but no real damage or issues, the hinge and push button catch closure are functional. This set has a lot going for it, and is massive eye candy. This cased cross came directly out of an estate in Germany, it has never been in a collection until it came to mine several years ago.
