'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' being a typical non-maker-marked example of the so-called: 'standard-design' and that comes with its original- and never-mounted ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt')

The truly attractive piece - 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'). The cross - which is totally void of a makers'-designation - was with certainty never cleaned and has a very nice and/or truly attractive age-patina: it retains most of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has just a minimally darkened- (ie. somewhat 'blackened') finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross has a very nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'satin-like'- ie. matted-) core: it is totally void of any damage or paint-loss and has been truly nicely preserved over the years (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece (as well as the accompanying ribbon) is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained but was never cleaned nor polished. The cross is - I deem - an evident example of the so-called: 'standard-IC-design' and is therefore very hard to attribute to a specific maker. The IC was recently found at a German private-household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive 'EK II. Klasse' of the 'standard-IC-design': I deem that I did price this piece accordingly!
