German Cross in Gold manufactured by Deschler & Sohn, Munchen. This is the 4 rivet heavy version from Deschler. The Heavy German Crosses are quite sought after by collectors for their solid feel and excellent construction. This cross weighs 68 grams. The delicate enamel swastika is completely intact and has no chipping at all, only exhibiting scratches at the center. The white disc behind the swastika exhibits a gray patina. The gold wreath retains much of its fire-gilded gold and burnished highlights. The starburst retains nearly all of its darkened finish. The reverse hardware is completely intact and features a hinge and catch soldered directly to the backplate of the cross. All the original brass rivets are secure. Marked "1" on the clasp for Deschler & Sohn. CONDITION: Very good.
