This is the second Knights Cross 57 issue War-Den has at present. In 1957 the West German Government authorised the manufacture and allowed purchase by WW2 German Veterans of all forms of the Iron Cross. The central swastika was replaced by an Oak Leaf Cluster. The crosses were manufactured to the same dimensions and highest quality standards. During the 60s the central magnetic iron core was replaced by a non-magnetic core so as to avoid erosion. The construction in three parts remained and the silver frames still contained the .800 silver content.
