Description
Germany, Third Reich, Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross neck Badge, a scarce example by Otto Schickle, silver with iron centre, retaining all its original finish, fitted was a 900/50 marked ring, L50 being the Company of J. Godet & Sohn, with short section of neck riband with its two short neck ties, indicating this was an issued and worn example, good very fine, scarce £2,000-£2,400 --- The most difficult of all the makers of the Knights Cross to the Iron Cross to obtain is the one produced by the Company Otto Schickle. It is believed that they only produced Knights Crosses from July 1941, and were in business for only 15 months. One of the most notable features that sets the Otto Schickle Knights Crosses apart from any other is the ungainly flat ring. The Otto Schickle crosses also have other features that put them apart from the other five most commonly encountered makers and these other features on this piece match exactly, including the correct weight.
