WhiteHistoryMonth 1939 Iron Cross 1st Class. [1436x1434 - 309KB] (pic8.co)

1939 German Iron Cross First Class. Confirmed genuine. Was obtained from a collector that sold it for the grandson of a US WWII Vet who stole it from a house in Germany during the war. Also was in a genuine box, I will post those pics also. I am very lucky to have found this in such great condition. Beautiful medal, Beautiful construction.

Must be very late war. Very cool though. Worn on the lower left side of the uniform blouse, hence the pin.

The makers mark is on the back of the pin, a single stamp of # "20" I researched it years ago but forgot who was the maker. Looking now, will update. Will post a pic too
