WW1 Iron Cross first Class - Help

[Uffz. Rohleder]

Hello all,

Today I got this Eisernes Kreuz  from an nice old lady. I know her since years and got an nice Simson made Bajonett from her. Today she gave me her father's EK1 and singer EK2 Ribbon.

I don't know anything about this EK1 typ. Looks like a Single Piece one - but maybe someone made a new paint job. 

I would be happy for some comments on this EK.

What a treasure.  Congrats.  Those always make the best pieces of a collection; straight from the family.  I hope you hold on to this and cherish it for a long time.  You should try to get a phot or at least a copy also.

Nice EK1, made by S&H most likely.
