The War Merit Cross 1st Class with Swords was instituted on October 18, 1939, by Adolf Hitler to recognize outstanding merit and bravery not directly connected to frontline combat actions.This early-production example is struck in premium tombac (Buntmetall) and features excellent, crisp details on the pebbled arms and central swastika. The silver finish has aged beautifully into a smooth, authentic patina. The reverse is unmarked, which is characteristic of this highly sought-after early manufacturer variant. It comes complete with its original vertical pin, hinge, and catch assembly, all fully functional and in untouched condition. A fantastic, high-end textbook piece for any advanced awards collection.
