WW2 German Iron Cross 2nd Class In Packet of Issue

The WW2 German Iron Cross 2nd Class In Packet of Issue is a military decoration awarded by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Instituted on 1 September 1939, the Iron Cross 2nd Class was bestowed for acts of bravery in battle as well as for other military contributions. The decoration consists of a cross pattée made of a magnetic iron core with a silvered frame, featuring a swastika and the date “1939” on the obverse, and “1813” on the reverse, marking the year of its original institution. This offering includes the original packet of issue, generally a paper envelope bearing the award’s designation. The cross is typically suspended from a black and white ribbon, attached via a ring at the top of the medal. Items presented in their packet are valued for their completeness and serve as authentic representations of military awards distributed to soldiers during the conflict.
