EK 1939 "123" Iron Cross, 2nd Class

[Bill Garvy]

Here is an example of an Iron Cross, 2nd Class, maker marked "123" for the firm of Beck, Hassinger, & Company of Sta?burg. What's nice about this particular example is that it represents, to my way of thinking, a complete ensemble with tissue wrapped unissued cross, ribbon with safety pin, and a maker stamped envelope of issue. I hope you enjoy this modest presentation. . .
