Description

Up for bidding:
The Iron Cross was a military decoration that stemmed from the Kingdom of Prussia, but later was adopted by the German Empire and then reauthorized for WWI in 1914. This paperweight is a special piece because it is a commemorative of the original award. This piece has the years 1813, 1870, and 1914 on the face as well as a crown and the initials F.W for King Friedrich Wilhelm III.
