(ITEM # 1155) VERY RARE ROYAL BAVARIAN ARMY WWI 1st & 2nd KLASS IRON KROSS SET ON FRONT OF BOTH KROSSES IN RAISED LETTERING IS, “BAY. 22. J.R., FURST WILHELM von HOHENZOLLERN, IN TREUE FEST!”, AND HALLMARKED ON REVERSE OF BOTH ISW & S, BO800 (for SILBER CONTENT”, AND ON THE 1st KLASS ATTACHMENT PIN FRONT IS “W & S” AND ON REVERSE IS, “.800”. ALSO HALLMARKED ON REVERSE OF 1st KLASS IK IS “M. W. H.,9.8.1918, Schlacht von Amiens”. , 2nd KLASS IK IS ALSO HALLMARKED ON REVERSE WITH, “R. V. Y., Schlacht von Ypern, 22.10.1914”. 2nd KLASS KROSS IS WITH OUT RIBBON. BOTH CROSSES SHOW WEAR AND USE, BUT ARE STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. KROSS FRAMES & INSERTS ARE SILBER AND SO MARKED FOR FIELD USE. KROSS SET HAVE HAD EXCELLENT STORAGE IN A DISPLAY CASE FOR MANY YEARS. THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE OF THESE TWO KROSSES LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY WERE AWARDS FOR THE A ROYAL BAVARIAN DIVISION WHICH WAS ACTIVE FROM 1815 TO 1919, AND SERVED IN THE IMPERIAL GERMAN ARMY DURING WORLD WAR ONE, AND WAS DISBANDED AFTER THE GREAT WAR, WITH THE DEMOBILIZATION OF THE GERMANY ARMY. EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR AGE OF THE SET. DO NOT LET THIS WONDERFUL SET GET AWAY!! THE SILVER METAL HAS DARKENED AND TARNISHED AS WELL AS USUAL DINKS & SO FORTH FROM WEAR,FROM USE STORAGE, AGE & SO FORTH. HAS SPEND LAST COUPLE OF DECADES UNDER GLASS IN A DISPLAY CASE. HIGHLY DETAILED, SEE PHOTOS. RARE ITEMS IN THIS CONDITION. SHOWS WEAR, AGE & GOOD STORAGE. SHOULD POLISH UP VERY NICE, IF SO INCLINED! OTHER WISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION SEE PHOTOS FOR ALL DETAILS.. SEE PHOTOS FOR ALL DETAILS.
