Embossed uniface 1914 1st Class Iron Cross

[medalworld]

Hello All,

I've just acquired this embossed uniface 1914 1st Class Iron Cross with prong back suspension. Not having seen one of this variety before, I'd welcome comments from fellow collectors and specialists in this decoration. Appears to be silver and is light weight, only 3 grams. 43mm x 43mm, unmarked; shows considerable age.

Many thanks, Frank Draskovic (medalworld)

Hi,

Itr is the kind of thing usually found on Photoalbum covers or other patriotic items.

Best

Hello Gents, Many thanks for the comments. I do collect German Imperial Orders & medals, but as my other medal interests are so broad, I do not need every esoteric variety of each item. Thus, I've listed this medal at Ebay, should anyone be interested. Link follows:
