A Knight’s Cross Of The Iron Cross 1939 By Juncker With Oakleaves Archive marked with maker symbol onOffered is a fine example of a Knights Cross of the Iron Cross 1939 (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes) by a well known and desirable maker. This Knights Cross features a regulation silver frame in the shape of a cross patte that is marked L 12 and 800 equidistant from the centerline on the full rounded eye for suspension. The Cross is of multi piece constructed with a blackened eggshell sheen iron core that is only rarely encountered by this maker.
