Hi Daniel,
The iron cross was normally issued to Prussian and later German soldiers as a military decoration. Since the Iron Cross was issued over several different periods of history, it was annotated with the year indicating the era in which it was issued. Your cross was probably issued in World War I. Since your cross is too large to be warn as a medalian and it doesn't have a pin back (I guess you don't show the reverse side so I assume it's smooth), I'm fairly certain this is a funeral decoration. It either was on a memorial or fell off the casket before burial. As far as worth, I would say it might fetch $100-$200 dollars, but it could sell for more. |
