Kanemono Posted November 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2018 This is a variation of a 1914 Iron Cross. It is a late war Godet wide frame First Class Iron Cross with a three piece screw back. The Iron Cross is vaulted and the backing plate is in the shape of the cross. The reverse features a round fitting marked D.R.C.M. with a handle that secures the backing plate and cross to the uniform. All pieces marked “800.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted November 7, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2018 I believe your screw back round nut is marked "D.R.G.M." as a copyright/patent type of marking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS3rd Posted December 15, 2018 Share #7 Posted December 15, 2018 Very nice EK I, Godet made some of the most excellent medals during the era. I had one like that many years ago. It is nice to see this cross posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
