WWI German Iron Cross Medal Group – 1st Class, 2nd Class & Hindenburg Cross Collection
A compelling World War I German medal grouping, featuring iconic decorations from the Imperial German Army, including the highly recognisable Iron Cross awards.
This collection includes both Iron Cross 1st Class and 2nd Class (1914), alongside a Hindenburg Cross (Honour Cross of the World War 1914/1918) and ribbon bar. While not attributed to a single individual, the set presents a cohesive and visually striking representation of German military honours from the First World War era.
The Iron Cross, originally established in 1813 and reissued in 1914, was awarded for bravery and military merit. The 1st Class version was worn as a pin, while the 2nd Class was suspended from a ribbon. The Hindenburg Cross, introduced in 1934, was later awarded to commemorate service during WWI.
