Description

Here is your chance to pick up a fantastic document for an Iron Cross First Class. This example is stamped from the SS Totenkopf Division and is signed by its commander SS General Theordor Eicke. This example overall is in good condition with minor wear throughout. This example was awarded in 1942 to Unteroffizier Hans-Otto Hamdorf. Would display great with the matching award! This piece is a consignment item and is subject to the terms listed on the website. Guaranteed original.    The 1st Class of the Iron Cross was presented more scarcely, and logically held a correspondingly higher level of stature than the second class.  In order to receive the Iron Cross 1st Class Heer and Waffen SS men would have to perform three to four further acts of courage from the one that earned him the 2nd Class.  The Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine had the following criteria; the award was regularly awarded to U-boat Commanders upon sinking 50,000 tons and to Luftwaffe pilots when they achieved six or seven confirmed kills.  Of course these were only guidelines, and a single act of great importance or a long steady career could earn the individual the Cross.  Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
