Stickpin - Imperial 2nd Class Iron Cross

Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse 1914 Mitgliednadel. Reinstituted August 5, 1914, by Emperor Wilhelm II, as the third endowment of the Iron Cross, the 2nd Class was awarded to personnel who performed a single act of bravery in combat. From March 16, 1915, the Iron Cross could also be awarded to members of the states allied with the Empire of Germany. This piece would have been privately purchased and worn by the awardee while in civilian clothing. It is constructed out of a die struck nickel-silver base that has been silver washed and black enamel painted. The obverse features a pattée style cross that has a centrally placed embossed “W” (cypher of King Wilhelm I & II), below the royal crown of Prussia (top arm) and above “1914” (lower arm), which is on a black base and surrounded by a silvered ribbed/beaded row and a flat outlying border. The full-back reverse features a soldered-on knurled stickpin. The face measures 3/8 of an inch square.
