This is an attractive - and I deem just moderately worn- and/or used - example of an: 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' (or: Iron Cross 1st class) being a detailed and non-maker-marked example as was produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Rudolf Wächtler & Lange' (ie. 'Hersteller 100') as was based in the town of Mittwaida in Sachsen and that came stored in its original, simulated leather-based- (and fairly luxuriously styled- and typically 'domed'-) etui as issued and/or recently found and that comes in an overall nice- (surely issued and/or clearly used- and/or worn-), condition. The magnetic cross has an overall nice age-patina and retains truly great detail: the black-coloured core shows no rust nor damage: the satin-like (ie. minimally shiny-), black-coloured painted core is nicely preserved and is void of any paint-loss (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross maintains, moreover, a fair bit of its 'off-factory applied' polished sides (ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten'). The back of the cross is just a tiny bit stained (but was never cleaned nor polished). The (flute-shaped) pin and catch (ie. set-up) are naturally unaltered and/or fully functional. The (early-styled- and typically 'domed') etui comes also in a very fine and fully complete condition: the silver-rimmed cross that figures on the etui's top is in a very nice and undamaged condition whereas the black-coloured- and/or velvet-like interior is also present and in place: it is just a bit 'yellowed' by age (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross (ie. matching set!) is an evident (fairly early!) specimen that was produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller'): 'Rudolf Wächtler & Lange' as was based in the town of Mittwaida in Sachsen: it has very nice and/or pronounced detail as to be expected for a cross by this maker. Simply an attractive - and fully matching! - fairly early-period, IC1-set by the 'Rudolf Wächtler & Lange'-company and that was never before part of a collection: I deem that I have priced this attractive and untouched example accordingly!
