Hello everyone,
Well, here it is, the item that I believed to be the single thing of importance when I came here for help not too long ago; an Iron Cross second class, very shiny, accompanied by capture papers and the very envelope it was shipped in after capturing
The cross itself looks extremely charming and pretty! The only thing I can't seem to find is the maker's mark, unfortunately. Maybe the suspension ring was polished too much, it somehow looks like that, or perhaps it just has no number. Do any of you guys see anything that could indicate anything regarding maker?
To the pictures!
The envelope up front:
The back of the envelope:
The capture paper:
The back of the capture paper, please note the black spots! Does this mean the paper is rotting away? Should I take measures to avoid this process? If so, which? Please advice:
Front of a card that was included with the cross in the envelope:
And the back of the card:
And now, to the cross!
Front, inside plastic sleeve:
Back, inside plastic sleeve:
Front, without sleeve:
Back, without sleeve:
Just one more that tries to show off the sparling shine:
I always get flabbergasted by looking at this cross. Really, you should see it, I have it in front of me, fingertips touching it, its amazingly beautiful, and it seems to tell stories ... lots of stories ...
Not sure why that is, but the silver shine does have a part in the spell it casts on me. This cross is a WAY different league compared to the Iron Cross second class by J. Stahl I have, I forgot the maker number, 122 I believe. Too bad this cross has no number to reveal ...
What do you think gentlemen?
Very best regards,
Karin-Renate
