Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse mit Schwertern - L/17

[jamie7d7]

Not such a black Friday for me, rather a ray of sunshine.

Here is one of the hardest makers to track down in militaria land, Hermann Wernstein L/17.

This company also made EK1 spange, PAB, IAB and U-Boot badges amongst others but for some reason these all are equally as difficult to find.

This particular cross has been factory vaulted and is of zinc construction. I initially thought it was tombac due to the copperish colour underneath the silver finish.

Slowly, Slowly, Catchy Monkey, I'll get all of them one day!

A very nice addition Jamie.
And, as you say, can be difficult to find.
Congrats!
Ralph.
