Original German Early WWII Iron Cross 2nd Class 1939 with Ribbon and WWI Frame - Schinkel Version British Field Gear just days before V-E DayOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic rare "Schinkel" example of a German WWII Iron Cross 2nd Class 1939 (Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse 1939), complete with its original red, black, and white ribbon. When the Iron Cross was re instituted by AH on September 1st 1939, manufacturers jumped at the opportunity of using the most cost effective solution to make them. This involved using their left over stock of Imperial Iron Cross 1914 frames.
