Hindenburg Cross for Combatants

Hindenburg Cross for Combatants in Original Issue Pouch - 14 R.V. PforzheimAn exceptionally crisp and complete example of the Honour Cross of the World War 1914/1918 (Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer), commonly known as the Hindenburg Cross. This combatant’s version features the distinct crossed swords behind the central laurel wreath.The reverse of the cross is clearly stamped with the manufacturer code "14 R.V. Pforzheim", denoting production under the Reichsverband syndicate by a manufacturer based in the famous jewelry city of Pforzheim. The medal retains its pristine original bronze wash over a magnetic iron core, combined with a fresh, vibrant black, white, and red ribbon.Notably, this cross comes uniquely complete with its original, period-printed paper issue pouch (Verleihungstüte). The packet remains solid and completely intact, which is highly desirable since these paper pouches rarely survived. A textbook, "time capsule" grouping that represents a fantastic addition to any premium medal or combat display.
