Third Reich German Cross in Gold by Zimmermann

German Cross in gold by the firm of Zimmermann. Only minimal wear to the dark gray finish of the star rays. The enamel of the swastika is in very fine condition. The gilt finish of the wreath is in excellent condition. Minimal signs of age on the silver back plate. There is wear to the silver finish of the reverse of the decoration. Four rivet construction, with the distinctive markedly upswept tail to the wide pin. The underside of the pin is marked with the “20” designation of the Zimmermann firm. The cross exhibits the well known characteristics of the Zimmermann DKG, with a die flaw exhibited on the rays of the cross at the 10 O’clock position and on the number “9” of the “1941” date scroll. Overall a beautiful example of an original wartime German Cross in Gold in excellent condition.
