Superb, WWI-period Iron Cross 1st class (or: 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse') being a nicely preserved- (albeit non-maker-marked) example that comes mounted on its typical 'Schraubscheibe' as was presumably produced by the: 'Wilh. Deumer'-company

The truly very attractive cross - which is a quite vaulted ie. converse-shaped example as is more often encountered - has I deem never been cleaned and retains a very nice (albeit somewhat tarnished-) age-patina and/or great pronounced detail. This example - which is a magnetic example as more often seen - comes mounted onto its original (and naturally fully functional but I deem period-replaced!) 'Schraubscheibe' (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross - which shows a nicely preserved, 'blackened'- and/or fairly 'satin-like'- ie. somewhat 'shiny'-like 'inner-core' - shows some minimal wear- and/or age but is void of any real damage: it retains a very nice appearance. It is just a bit dirty and tarnished simply caused by years of storage and/or moderate wear but retains a great unmessed-with and/or uncleaned, age-patina. The IC on offer here is (I deem) a typical example that was produced in the late thirties by the 'Wilhelm Deumer'-company: various details corroborate this. Simply an attractive IC-first-class that comes mounted onto its typical 'Schraubscheibe' and that was recently uncovered at a private household and that was never before in a collection. The piece came as such (having this type of 'Schraubscheibe'): normally, these by Deumer produced ICs came with a so-called: 'clamshell'-variant disc. I deem that I have priced this attractive example according to its period replaced 'Schraubscheibe'!
