Knights Cross – Boxed 1957 Issue – Steinhauer und Luck

This cross was manufactured by Steinhauer und Luck and is stamped on the reverse .800 for its silver content. The Oak Leaves and Acorns show the expected fine detail, and the lettering is nice and chunky as on all original examples, I would estimate the manufacture at being  mid 80s, certainly not an early production. The ribbon is in excellent condition and folded nicely into the case. The case again is in excellent shape with no scuffing. The black velvet base of the case is perfect, the white silk to the inside of the lid is completely stain free and undamaged. The catch is fully secure but is a little “sticky” when opening, but this does indicate a slight warping of the box through age, certainly after 30 years it would be expected.

A beautiful presentation piece of this historic award, the quality speaks for itself!
