Spange 1939 to the Iron Cross 2nd Class 1914 (Wiederholungsspange 1939 für das Eiserne Kreuz 2.Klasse 1914). On 1 September 1939 Hitler reinstituted the Iron Cross series of awards in the First and Second Classes and established the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross and two new Spangen (Bars) for the first and second class awards to be bestowed to recipients of the 1939 Iron Cross who had also been awarded a first or second class 1914 Iron Cross during WWI. The early tombak clasp is not visible maker marked, this is a so-called 'Short-Wing' variant due to its distinctive design. The clasp is complete with all 4 prongs. The details are pronounced and stunning. This is one of the rarest clasps to be found and only the first example I've ever had on offer. Rare original clasp in very good condition!
