A Knight’s Cross of the War Service Cross with Swords.
This is a late War example in thick silver-plated zinc without maker’s marks. These zinc Knights’ Crosses appear to be a Second War production, but their weight would seem to make them heavy to wear around the neck. However, it would appear to be an issued example as there is slight wear to the ribbon which has small metal hooks for attaching to a metal loop under the tunic collar. The silver-plating is faded, good very fine £500-£700

This lot was sold as part of a special collection, A Fine Collection of German Second World War Combat Awards.
