Here we have a solid example of an Imperial 2nd Class Iron Cross by KO! This award is a die struck, three piece (single piece iron core and two piece silver alloy frame) construction. The obverse features a black pattee style cross with a centrally placed embossed "W" (cypher for King Wilhelm II), below a Kings crown and above "1914", all within a ribbed and flat border. The reverse shows a centrally placed oak leaf cluster, below a "FW" (cypher for King Friedrich Wilhelm III) and a Kings crown and is above "1813". The black paint is in great condition, remaining 99% intact. The boarder has beautifully aged leaving a nice dark patina. The ring is marked "KO". The award comes with approximately 5 inches of period black and white ribbon. A great maker marked example!
