Superb, 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' being a maker- (ie. '1'-) marked example that comes together with its original ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') and period 'Zellstoff'-based pouch as produced by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller'): 'Deschler & Sohn'

This is a very attractive - and truly desirable! - 'Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse' (ie. iron cross second-class) being an example that was never issued and that was simply never worn nor even mounted and that comes together with its orange-red-coloured-, folded- and/or non-confectioned (and approx. 29 cms. long-sized-) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') and came stored in its (regular-sized-) darker-blue-coloured- and/or 'Zellstoff'-based pouch as stored for decades. The cross - which shows a clear makers'-designation: '1' stamped into its ring - was with certainty never cleaned and has a nice and/or attractive age-patina: it retains, moreover, some of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and is only minimally 'tarnished' (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross - that came still packed in its period piece of thin-shaped, light-brown-coloured 'wrapping-paper' - has a very nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'matted'-) core: it is truly void of any damage or alike. The piece is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained but was never cleaned nor polished. The cross has very nice and/or pronounced detail as to be expected for a cross by this desirable maker: it shows all the characteristics for a by the: 'Deschler'-company produced IC. The 'Zellstoff'-based pouch comes in an overall nice and complete condition: it does show, however, some minimal damage (ie. tears) and does show some age and/or staining. The pouch shows a clearly printed makers'-designation on its back that reads: 'Deschler & Sohn - München 9' (as can be seen on the pictures). The set was recently found as such at a German private-household and was truly never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive and truly fully matching IC-set by the 'Deschler & Sohn'-company: I deem that I did price this with certainty desirable IC-set, accordingly!
