Hi Adren
You mean this is totally out of the woodwork? Can you share a bit of the story please, I always love those...

Re: German Eagle Order, 1st Class?
I managed to purchase this from an auction where an old lady brought it to sale after her husband passed away that it belonged to.
The recipient was in charge of Helsinki General Hospital during the war and during German - Finnish operations in the eastern front.
The name is known but I've been asked to keep it secret so can't reveal it here.
I am 99% sure after doing research that the cross is 1st class pre 1943 so I am sure that I will never stumble upon an opportunity like this again.
Best Regards,
Adren

Yes the condition is so good that I have never seen such a piece.
It looks like it could have been issued yesterday. Really brings history to life.
Still hard to believe I got it
