A Fine Collection of German Second World War Combat Awards

A 1939 Clasp to the Iron Cross First Class 1914 in its Presentation Case and with the Matching Maker’s Outer Cardboard Box.
The Clasp is almost certainly an early War production of the 2nd Type Clasp, not maker marked, out of the factory mint condition, retaining all original matt silver finish with bright polished highlights. The case is covered in black artificial leather, with a silver image of the Clasp printed on the flat lid. Inside it is lined on the lower section in black velvet, and white artificial silk in the top. Case is as new mint condition. The outer pale brown cardboard box is also mint and has printed on the top ‘Spange zum Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse’ and below that ‘Nur vom Empfanger zu offnen’. On the side is printed the maker’s name ‘B.H. Mayer, Pforzheim’, extremely fine £400-£500

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