RD596.)CASED GERMAN CROSS IN GOLD: nice older copy worthy of a detailed description. Okay, it's not one of those made-to-screw-you fakes that command a $500 price, however it's really a good looking and well-made copy. 63mm wide from point-to-point and properly constructed of the correct five separate components not including the hinge/pin assembly. Separately applied black glass enameled swastika on silver disc; stamped gold wreath with crisp '1941' date. Has the proper red borders beneath wreath. Note too that the starburst base is constructed of two separate layers....upper layer is a burnished bronze while the under-layer is a silver alloy. With four rivets on the back, quality, heavy hinge and tapered silver pin. 4" square black leatherette case, hinged and with functioning spring button catch at front. Interior is lined with plush black velvet and is slotted to perfectly accommodate hinge/pin assembly. Upper interior of case is lined with padded white satin. Has gold border around the lid's edge connoting the German Cross in Gold case. EXC+++++
