Cased War Merit Cross 1'st Class 1939 with Swords

Die struck Tombak construction cross. The plain, reverse has a soldered hinge, a broad pin and a heavy soldered catch all intact. The award comes housed in a pressed cardboard and wood construction case with a black simulated grained leather covering. The top lid of the case has an impressed silvered outline of the War Merit Cross with swords. The interior of the top lid is lined in white satin while the interior bottom of the case has a cut-out to secure the hinge, pin and catch of the badge. Press button intact and fully functional.

The cross is in very good condition with bright polished edges and virtually all of the silver wash still intact. The case is in equally good condition with minimal signs of age and storage wear.

A very nice set which would be close to impossible to upgrade!!
