Attractive - and just moderately used! - 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' (or: Iron Cross 1st class) being a typical non-maker-marked example that was (I deem) produced by the desirable 'Hersteller' named: 'Klein & Quenzer A.G.'

This is an attractive example of an (I deem) mid-war-period: 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' (or: Iron Cross 1st class) being a typical non-maker-marked- and/or non-vaulted- (ie. non-converse-shaped) example as was (I deem) produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Klein & Quenzer A.G.' as was based in the town of Oberstein (ie. 'Hersteller 65') and that comes as recently found. The neat cross comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition (as can be seen on the pictures). The magnetic cross retains a very nice age-patina and truly retains great pronounced detail: the black-coloured (and somewhat 'matted') core shows some minimal paint-loss (mainly in the swastika-area) and is nicely preserved (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece has lost most of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or polished sides) and is still somewhat tarnished but was never cleaned nor polished. The typical (flute-shaped) pin and/or catch (ie. set-up) are naturally fully unaltered and/or of course still functional. Simply an attractive - and I deem mid-war-period! - 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' by the 'Klein & Quenzer'-company that was never before in a collection and that is with certainty accordingly priced!
