Spange fixed to an 1914 Iron Cross

[Justin]

How rare are these? Is there a offical name for these? I have been looking for one for awhile now. any one know where to find one?


Thanks Justin

Super-rare and if you do not know EXACTLY what you are looking at, one of the easiest items in Third Reich collecting to get burned with.

Of couse it is . What are some key things to look at about how they are fixed together.

Justin, Frank is right about these. IMO don't bother trying to get one, save your $ for something textbook. These combo's(other than the L/18 Mayer) were mostly jeweler made pieces combining a cross and spange. Quality should be outstanding. Because of these facts it is difficult to say with certainty when one was made.
best wishes, jeff
