The attractive piece - which was I deem surely issued and that was once mounted - came together with its pre-folded and/or confectioned (and approx. 13 cms. long-sized- and minimally stained) orange-red-coloured ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt'). The cross - which is void of a makers'-signification as more often with these by the 'C.E. Juncker'-company 'quality'-produced crosses - was with certainty never cleaned and has a nice and/or very attractive age-patina: it has, however, lost most its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has a minimally 'darkened' finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross has a nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'satin-like') core: it is truly void of any (paint)damage or alike (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained but was never cleaned nor polished. The cross - which has all the specifications of a by the 'C.E. Juncker'-company produced IC - has very nice and/or pronounced detail as to be expected. This example was recently found at a German private-household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive 'EK II. Klasse' by the 'C.E. Juncker'-company: I deem that I did price this with certainty desirable piece accordingly!
