Screw Back 1914 Iron Cross 1st Class

The core of the Iron Cross is brass. Multi-piece screw back plate and nut. There is wear to the paint of the central cross, revealing the brass nature of the cross itself and, since much of that wear is the the beading of the frame and the central designs of the date, the “W”, and the crown, it presents an appealing contrast that sets off the design of the cross.
