Here is your chance to purchase a beautiful Iron Cross 1st class Spange. Loaded with patina and with just the right amount of wear giving this one a nice combat worn look. Don’t miss out! A holder of the 1914 Iron Cross could be awarded a second or higher grade of the 1939 Iron Cross. To permit the two medals to be worn together, a “1939 Clasp” ( Spange ) would be worn on the original 1914 Iron Cross. It depicted a national eagle clutching an oak leaf wreath surrounding a swastika above a trapezoid bearing the year 1939 . The clasp was attached to the 1914 Iron Cross medal ribbon. The ribbon was then worn through a tunic button of the uniform. For the First Class award, the larger but identical clasp was pinned directly on the upper breast pocket above the Iron Cross 1st class (1914) of the wearer. This pin-back clasp was usually awarded in a presentation case. Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
