Description
The Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, introduced in 1813 before being reinstituted by Adolf Hitler in 1939, was intended to be awarded only to the highest-ranking officers for extraordinary acts of valour. Famously only having been issued once during the Second World War – to Hermann Goering following the swift victory in France – this decoration was a powerful symbol of the military elite within Nazi Germany. As the highest class of the Iron Cross, its large size and distinct design set it apart from more common awards.
This reproduction is crafted with an eye for detail. Made from heavy brass and finished with a lustrous silver, this insignia mirrors the original in both weight and presence. The cross is complemented by a 12-inch ribbon of black, white and red, making it perfect for display.
Whether you are a historian, collector or enthusiast of World War 2, this Grand Cross of the Iron Cross will serve as a remarkable addition to your collection!
