Mint Cased Knight’s Cross by Steinhauer & Luck

A mint condition example of the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, contained within its original case and with its original neck ribbon. The frame of the cross bears the number “4”, indicating manufacture by Steinhauer & Luck. The front of the cross is pristine while the back of the silver frame has a superb dark, untouched, patina from contact with the velvet lining of the fitted case. The cross is accompanied by a 7 page written evaluation by noted author and Knight’s Cross scholar Dietrich Maerz, who examined this cross and prepared the report setting forth his conclusion that the Knight’s Cross, its case, and its ribbon, are authentic.
