German cross in gold

[Loke]

This cased german cross in gold belongs to a friend of mine. It has a „20“ production stamp. All opinions over the cross/ case and the market value are most welcome.

Cincerely,

This cross was awarded to a Hauptmann Sartorius who obviously served in a panzer-unit. All comments over the cross, the case, the belonging document and the total market value are most welcome.

IMO it looks like a typical Zimmermann 20 and it also looks like someone have tried to clean the backside with steel wool

IM ... and it also looks like someone have tried to clean the backside with steel wool

Not positive of course, but would this failed cleaning attempt have a rather large effect on the total market value of this lot?
