Here is your chance to own a nice 2nd class Iron Cross ribbon. This example is complete with the paper packet. In excellent condition overall with nice patina. The Iron Cross 2nd Class is one of the most recognizable items from the Third Reich, and the spare ribbon with the packet is a rare find! The Iron Cross Second Class held a certain level of prestige in the waning days of 1939; in war’s past, even this lowest grade had been stringently presented. However, as the conflict entered advanced years, and certainly as the German infrastructure crumbled in 1945, this grade was given out with liberalism and therefore its reputation eroded accordingly. In spite of this, the Iron Cross 2nd Class was a valued decoration and many recipients have proudly documented the deeds which earned them the right to wear it. The official criteria for the award was a single act of bravery in the face of the enemy, or actions that were clearly above and beyond the call of duty.
