An Iron Cross First Class 1939 in its Presentation Case.
The Iron Cross is of a slightly convex shape, and probably a mid-War production, stamped ‘L/11’ [Wilhelm Deumer, Ludenscheid] below the hook, unissued, and is in excellent condition apart from some very slight tarnishing on the silver rim. The case is the late type without metal hinges and closing button. It is covered in black artificial leather, without a silver outline of the Cross printed on the flat lid. Inside it is lined on the lower section in white felt, and white artificial silk in the top. The top section is also printed ‘Wilhelm Deumer K.G. Ludenscheid, extremely fine £260-£300
