Case for the Spange to the Iron Cross 1st Class
Case for the Iron Cross 1st Class Repetition Clasp 1939 to the Iron Cross 1st Class 1914 (Schachtel zum Wiederholungsspange 1939 für das Eiserne Kreuz 1.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. This is an empty case/etui which is intended for clasps produced by the company of 'B.H. Mayer' from Pforzheim. The box is showing some minor usage on the corners and is in overall very good, near mint, condition. Hard to find original case!
