1957 Knights Cross of the Iron Cross

Although the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross was ranked second to the Grand Cross, the award was in fact the most coveted of all Third Reich Germany's decorations. In 1957 a series of awards were re-designed with the removal of the swastika, which allowed WW2 veterans serving in the newly formed Bundeswehr to wear medals they had earned previously.

These WW2 Crosses have an antiqued finish, and come complete with correct suspension loop and 12” (30cm) of neck ribbon.
