Holy Grail Club Request

[tegunn]

I would like to formally request membership in the Holy Grail club with this entry:
Iron Cross 1813, 2nd class, 1st version!- multi-part frame, stepped iron core. Note wear on the Ose ring; these were made of a high silver content, so wear is expected from rubbing on the ribbon ring. With original silk ribbon. 12 pictures total..

Very nice, i really like the uniformly consistant wear. Are you sure the ribbon is of the same period?
