A metal pushbutton on the front releases the lid. Inside lid is covered with a white satin like cloth; the base of box is covered with cream-colored velvet like material and has a recess, in the shape of the pin; hinge and pin catch, so the metal nestles flatly on the velvet. The exterior of the box is in excellent+ condition; some of the silver outline on the lid has worn off from handling; the interior lid has picked up a few, insignificant, soil spots from the tarnish on the front of the cross; the cream-colored base material has picked up a light brown tinge, leaving an outline of the medal when the medal is removed. A classic, textbook example of a mid-war, Iron cross 1st class in presentation box. Unfortunately, some of the photos do not do this medal justice. Vg+. $350.00 SOLD |
