    1813-1914 Iron Cross ?


    Recommended Posts

    Hello. I have an Iron Cross dated 1813 on one side and 1914 on the other (see photos). It is small compared to the regular Iron Cross (39.5 mm x 39.5 mm). There is no suspension loop; nor was there (no shaved down portion at the top of the cross).

    Is this some type of sweatheart medallion or a patriotic medallion created at the onset of WWI?

    Any information at all would be useful. Thank you in advance.

    If you need higher resolution photos, please let me know and I will e-mail them to you.

    Hello Chris.

    Thank you for your quick reply.

    Does popping out of its frame occur often? Also, should this be magnetic?

    Clearly I do not know enough about the Iron Cross. I can use all the help I can get.

    Thanks again Chris.
