Instituted on 1 September 1939, this was the highest decoration for battlefield bravery or military leadership. This piece follows the design of the original, which used a three-piece construction with a magnetic iron centre and a nickel silver frame. Each medal comes with a quality Knights Cross ribbon, to which you can add elastic or cotton ties for wearing around the neck.
The included Oakleaves (Eichenlaub) were introduced in June 1940 to recognise recipients of the Knight’s Cross who continued to show exceptional merit. Only 890 individuals received the Oakleaves out of the 7,000 Knight's Cross recipients. This set features the 900 and SILBER L/50 markings on the Oakleaves, which reflects the design details used by the manufacturer Godet.
This reproduction is suitable for educational displays, private collections, and historical re-enactments. It includes a 12" (30cm) black, white, and red neck ribbon.
