Here is your chance to own a beautiful spange to the Iron Cross 2nd class. Attached to a Heer Oberleutnant shoulder board with ciphers for the 13th regiment. Spange is missing 1 reverse prong. What really makes this set special is that it originally was brought home in this configuration, as shown in this photo taken back stateside of a veteran bringback group by the child’s elbow. Extremely detailed and guaranteed authentic. 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. Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
