This lot comprises six items associated with German military and political organisations. The primary item is an Iron Cross Second Class, attributed to the 1914 pattern based on the reverse design. The cross features a black-finished core within a ribbed silver-toned frame. The reverse side, which is shown, displays a crown over the initials FW on the upper arm, a spray of oak leaves in the centre, and the date 1813 on the lower arm, representing the original Prussian institution of the award.
The collection includes five enamelled lapel pins:
A shield-shaped pin for the Kriegsmarine featuring a U-boat silhouette and anchor over a black, white, and red tricolour background, with the text Kriegsmarine along the left edge.
A Luftwaffe shield pin in black enamel featuring a silver-toned eagle clutching a swastika, with the text Luftwaffe along the left edge.
A Panzer unit pin featuring a tank silhouette and an Iron Cross against a red, white, and black background.
A circular SS runic pin with white sig-runes on a black enamelled field.
A small Luftwaffe pin featuring a wing motif and a tricolour shield with an Iron Cross, with the text Luftwaffe on the left section.
No manufacturer marks or RZM codes are visible on the obverse of these items; such marks are typically found on the reverse. These specific graphic designs are frequently encountered as post-war commemorative or veteran-related items.
